The Alka is a knightly tournament dating back to 1715, in which riders compete to spear a small metal ring from a galloping horse. The Alka is inscribed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Very nice photos, Rudolf. Especially the woman with the nice smile and the horses: wonderful!
