Kulmbach
2011
Four
Swedish tin figure fanciers started out in the city of Helsingborg and then
took the ferry from Trelleborg to Travemünde. Håkan Rosén,
Jan Sennebo, Louis Liljedahl and Mats Aztor are all ready for the campaign.
The world's
largest tin figure fair is held every second year in the little medieval town
of Kulmbach, Germany.
