Germany - Kassel 14.05.2026

The tiger duck race, in German: “Tigerenten-Rennen” is the highlight on this Thursday afternoon in Kassel. Spectators gathered arround the pickaxe monument to watch how the thousands of wooden tiger-ducks float along the Fulda, into direction Finish island. It’s an annual event and one can adopt a duck for the race and win prices worth up to 3000€, if it’s the first one reaching the floating Finish.
