Every year on Easter Sunday morning, a pair of Easter bunnies appear in Unterseen. Whatever the weather, children, their parents and grandparents await them on the Stadthausplatz square by the church steps, where the Easter bunnies distribute their beautifully decorated eggs.
The tradition of the Untersee Easter bunnies is already 90 years old. This is taken as an opportunity to (finally) let the Easter bunny couple sleep an hour longer on Easter Sunday. And so will the children, parents, grandparents and visitors.
As every year, the procession of the Easter Bunny couple is accompanied by the "Ostermusig", the brass band on the Schibefluh.
For years, the Unterseen choir community has ensured that the Easter bunny couple have enough eggs to hand out. Every Maundy Thursday evening, hard-working helpers meet in the old school kitchen and decorate what are now a good 700 eggs, compared to over 1000 in previous years.
At Easter, these are carefully packed into a lovingly decorated "Leiterwägeli" and prepared for the Easter bunny couple.
In 2016, the Office for Culture of the Canton of Bern added our Easter bunnies to the cantonal list of living traditions. The pair of bunnies is therefore a registered cultural asset.
The Easter bunny couple is looking forward to welcoming many visitors, both young and old.
