Tips for the Christmas season

Discover old Erzgebirge folk art

Erzgebirge folk art is famous. The manufacture of candle arches, pyramids, smokers, nutcrackers and other wooden figures has a long tradition in the Ore Mountains. As early as the 16th century, miners used their free time to work the wood in the region. Many still do this today.

Christmas market in Hellbrunn Palace

The most beautiful Salzburg Christmas market for us is the Christmas market in Hellbrunn Palace. In the time before Christmas, a whole forest decorated with thick red Christmas tree balls stands in the courtyard of Hellbrunn Palace in Salzburg.

Salzburg Christmas in the Stiftskeller

The Christmas wonderland in the courtyard of the Stiftskeller St. Peter in Salzburg is a real gem. Nowhere can you experience Salzburg Christmas more beautifully than there. Not only that you can eat well in the monastery cellar, there is also Salzburg's most beautiful Christmas tree.

Christmas market Schweinfurt

At the Schweinfurt Christmas market, the wooden stalls with scents of cardamom, cloves and nutmeg, the two carousels, the children's ferris wheel and the Christmas tree in the middle of the market square create an Advent atmosphere on the square in front of the town hall on the Main.

Christmas on the fortress Hohensalzburg

However, none of the Salzburg Christmas markets is as contemplative as the Christmas market at the Hohensalzburg Fortress. He's not as big as the others. In return, he conveys the spirit of Christmas better with his wooden huts in the courtyard of the Hohensalzburg Fortress.
