What is different in the canton of Glarus?

In Glarus, Easter Monday is a public holiday, whereas Whit Monday is only a cantonal rest day and therefore a working day under employment law. The canton has its own holiday: the Näfelser Fahrt in April.

What is behind “Näfelser Fahrt”?

The Näfelser Fahrt commemorates the Battle of Näfels on 9 April 1388, in which the people of Glarus and their allies defeated a Habsburg army despite being clearly outnumbered. Since then, the battle has been commemorated every year in early April with a procession to the battlefield and the memorial stones. After the Reformation, the Catholics long celebrated alone; only in 1835 did the people of Glarus agree on a joint ceremony.
