Baden-Württemberg: Alpacas accompany Nikolaus and Knecht Ruprecht

Ertingen (dpa / lsw) - Accompanied by two alpacas, Nikolaus and Knecht Ruprecht were out and about in Upper Swabia. Motorists stopped in Ertingen (Biberach district) on Friday and took pictures of the quartet with their cell phones. Under the Santa Claus costume was alpaca owner Matthias Frick, who was on his way to a Santa Claus party with his colleague, who was disguised as Knecht Ruprecht. "My alpacas are not used to a visit from St. Nicholas, otherwise we always walk in civilian clothes," said Frick. He usually offers excursions where participants can walk along the Danube with alpacas.
