Following the leader of the nose train in single file, the route takes you through the alleyways and pubs around the city.
Wolfach's men set off with a self-created nose, "last smock" (jacket turned inside out), hat with a wooden chip attached and every conceivable noisy instrument, through every nook and cranny, alley and pub. From the town gate to the suburb and over the footbridge and back to the castle courtyard. At the town fountain comes the decisive moment for all the women who have dared to mingle with the men. If they are recognised despite their disguise, they land mercilessly in the cold water of the fountain to the gleeful laughter of the spectators.
