Pumpkin boat race of Germany

                                                                  
 The unusual pumpkin race takes place every year at the Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival in Germany.  The festival marks the start of Germany's pumpkin season. In the pumpkin race the contestants paddle huge hollow pumpkins across the Ludswigsburg Castle Lake.  Enormous pumpkins are required to build special pumpkin boats which can weigh more than 90 kg. The pumpkin festival of Germany is the largest pumpkin festival in the world.
