When do the witches dance on the Brocken?

The witches dance on the Brocken every year on Walpurgis Night, the night between April 30 and May 01. It is believed that the witches travel to the top of the Brocken to celebrate: the witches dance on the Brocken on Midsummer Night to celebrate summer and the magic of the night. It is an ancient ritual that has survived through many generations. The witches dance ten rounds around a fire and then make the round once clockwise and once counterclockwise. This ritual is an interesting, mystical event that takes place only once a year - reason enough for many people to travel and experience it.
