content: Edited film: shows the preparations as well as the actual wheel race in Lugde on Easter Sunday. During the week before the event, the wheels are traditionally thrown into the Emmer River and then retrieved; straw is also gathered at this time. On Easter Sunday the wheel wagon and the straw wagon proceed through the town and the wheels are filled with straw. The actual wheel race takes place in the evening.
