Where

  • Hlinsko, Czech Republic

The house-to-house procession of masked figures through villages around Hlinsko was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2010. It is not a reconstruction staged for tourists but a living tradition that has survived in the same villages, with masks passed down through generations.
