Atmosphere guaranteed: The music leads the Saigra Gaudiwurm.

The mayor (austerity) master, ever-expanding municipal employees, cannabis for the entire country, après-ski instead of fun on the slopes, farmers' protests and the desire for a Fendt: the Saigra Gaudiwurm hardly missed any topic.
Saulgrub – It’s important to be careful.
Because there are candies, confetti, sawdust and even a menhir flying.
The spectators will get a few things on their heads at the Saigra Gaudiwurm on Sunday.
Others get rid of their fat.
After all, there was no shortage of topics and areas to attack: the wolf debate, the farmer demonstrations, the bumpy train traffic in the Ammertal or the legalization of cannabis offered plenty of fodder.
The traffic light government was just as immune from the Saulgrubers as local politics and local club life.
Saigra Gaudiwurm is back after a four-year break
The word work was simply put in quotation marks on the car that deals with community activities.
A mattress serves as a workplace.
A leaky water pipe is hammered haphazardly, and freshly mixed concrete doesn't come apart just once.
“Municipal workers are getting bigger and bigger, there’s nothing going on,” it says on the construction site.
One of many floats that gave out at the Gaudiwurm – finally again after a four long year break.
The foot troops don't skimp on side blows either.
Criticism is not spared - not even of the community, which obviously doesn't do enough for some people.

A group of girls takes club life to their hearts.
As drummers with voluptuous curves and in sparkling pink, they drum for all they're worth with their wooden spoons.
“Saigra Musi won't get busier, luckily the drummers are musicians,” they announce on their car.
Meanwhile, two women in ranger outfits are using binoculars to search for a new board member for SG Saulgrub.
The Ammertal Express runs in between.
Luckily it was just drizzling this afternoon.
Because when snowflakes fall “all over the place”, then this train “no longer runs”.
But the train still has to be canceled - catenary damage.
Meanwhile, the traffic light government is represented by prominent faces, along with PV modules, because: “We just don’t produce green electricity, as long as we have good neighbors with the atom.” Independent of the government and the law, the wolf problem is being tackled: with “shooting, shoveling, Silence” means solving “the farmer’s suffering” while standing at a gigantic hunter’s stand.
Not far away, predators repeatedly attack livestock before a group of men finish off the bear and wolf.
Speaking of farmers.
A lot of space in the Gaudiwurm is given to farmers' protests.
Young and old alike take to the streets, with the younger generation occasionally interjecting personal interests into the mix.
Banners and posters not only say: “The farm is on fire, politics is sleeping.” Or: “First the farmer dies, then the country.” But in the middle of a pedal bulldog brigade there is also the clear demand: “I like Fendt.” Or: “Less school”.
Get away quickly, otherwise the bear will be attacked.
He has nothing to laugh about at the Gaudiwurm in Saulgrub.

Meanwhile, you can be completely relaxed in a cannabis plantation.
After legalization, in the future you will no longer harvest meadow hay, but “gross”.
In the service of the population: “The whole of Germany will soon be high on drugs, otherwise you can't stand it here in the country.” Meanwhile, a few meters away, the “Spargruber Rohrbruchmusikanten” are dancing around the hydrant at the Almrösl, to which the “citizens (Spar )meister” and his twelve “cones” loaded.
A ski group is very happy, even without snow.
Instead of the slopes, après-ski is now on the list - with cocktails starting at 15 euros.
A group of balloonists fly low towards the Bürgersaal, where the procession comes to an end and the celebration continues with Saulgruber brass music and bar service.
And even the Ammertal Express arrives there.
