Giant Iceberg Leaps into the Start of the New Year
Every year on January 1st, a unique and daring tradition takes place in the heart of Pforzheim and the Enz district. Known as the "Jump into the New Year," this event sees participants diving into the icy waters of the Enz river.
The Enz river, known for its strong current and flooding during this time, serves as the backdrop for this chilly custom. Despite the very cold temperature, the river does not discourage daring individuals from taking the plunge. In fact, the cold temperatures seem to add an extra layer of excitement and adventure to the annual event.
The gathering for the event takes place at the Turnplatz, where spectators watch from the bank. As the clock strikes midnight, participants, clad in warm neoprene suits, carry burning torches and make their way to the river. The culminating finale of the event is a jump from the pedestrian bridge behind the city theater, a moment that is both thrilling and invigorating for all involved.
The New Year's swim is popular due to the strong current and flooding of the Enz river, making it a challenging yet rewarding experience. Diving into the Enz river is an activity that some people consider risky or daring, but for those who participate, it is a testament to their courage or even a touch of madness.
The New Year's custom of jumping into the Enz river takes place at the German Life Saving Society DLRG, ensuring the safety of all participants. Unfortunately, the name of the group that annually performs this tradition remains unknown in the available search results.
As the sun rises on New Year's Day, the icy waters of the Enz river echo with the cheers and laughter of those who have braved the cold. The "Jump into the New Year" event is a testament to the spirit of adventure and the resilience of the human spirit, making it a beloved tradition in Pforzheim and the Enz district.
