Whether it’s a hot mulled wine or a warming cup of apple mulled cider, the lovingly decorated Advent market stalls invite you to linger and enjoy. From delicious regional specialties to high-quality local products, every visitor will find something special.

The Christmas market will remain open in all its variety until January 6, 2027.
