It's May, and in the Bavarian village of Khbach, residents are marking the first day of the month by raising a single decorated tree trunk known as a maypole, a custom observed across southern Germany, Austria and parts of central Europe. The tradition, documented in Bavaria since at least the 16th century, involves erecting a tall, decorated trunk in the village square to mark the start of spring.
