Men dressed as "Chlaeuse", figures that scare away evil spirits, carry round bells and cowbells as they walk over a partially snow-covered meadow during the traditional "Syvesterchlausen" near the northeastern village of Urnaesch January 13, 2015. Every year on December 31 and January 13, groups of "Chlaeuse" walk through the countryside of the Canton of Appenzell-Ausserrhoden.
