The Journey of the Tvrdovaječníks from Velvary to Charles Bridge
The aim of the Egg Gathering is to remind people of the legend of how the inhabitants of Velvary contributed to the construction of the bridge in the 14th century with hard-boiled eggs. The legend has become a source of mockery, but also pride for the residents of Velvary, who formed the association called Natvrdlí for this reason. At the Charles Bridge Museum, an exhibition titled "The Story of Easter" will begin after the event. Since 2015, a group of egg bearers has been walking from Velvary to Prague with baskets full of eggs. This year, the mayor of Velvary, Radim Volák, who is also the chairman of the Velvary association of Natvrdlí, will lead them. "Along the way, other pilgrims from surrounding villages will join them, and they will all eventually meet in Prague at the Malostranská Tower, from where they will cross the Charles Bridge together to Křižovnické Square, where they will ceremoniously present the boiled eggs to the burgrave and the Charles Bridge Museum," explains the museum director, Zdeněk Bergman, adding that, besides the procession with the eggs, a horse-drawn carriage will also pass over the Charles Bridge, accompanied by knights and a medieval band. According to legend, the Charles Bridge is the only bridge in the world built not only of stone but also of eggs. And perhaps thanks to this recipe, it has stood for more than 667 years.

The transport, organized last week by Tierpark Berlin and the German branch of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), was the largest of its kind. A total of eighteen animals headed to the foothills of the Greater Caucasus: twelve bison from German, Austrian, Hungarian, and Czech zoos and six from the Rothaargebirge mountains.
