Bavarian farmers Tobias, Stephanie, Matthias and Andreas Holzmann (front) from the Alp Gelbhansekopf, followed by their cows, walk along a street in Balderschwang, about 160km south of Munich, September 13, 2013. At the end of the summer season, farmers move their herds down from the Alps to the valley into winter pastures. The cows are covered with flowers only when the whole herd survived the summer.-Reuters/Michaela Rehle
