Witches' Night
Marking the end of winter, Witches' Night, or Paleni carodejnic, involves an effigy of a hag or witch burning on top of hills across the Czech Republic. In Prague the weird but compelling spectacle takes place on Petrin Hill.
The ritual attracts locals and tourists alike, and the daring may even attempt to jump over the flames...
