Tips & Advice

  • Plan your visit around Saint Nicholas, who comes to the square every day of the market and is a highlight for the youngest visitors.
  • Let the kids bake stick bread at the scouts' campfire, then take a carriage ride through the village.
  • Come hungry for flame-grilled salmon, baked apples and Krapfen, and pick up homemade jams and cookies to take home.
  • Shop here for handmade gifts, because every purchase supports clubs and projects in Aligse, Kolshorn, Röddensen and the surrounding area.
  • If you'd like to help, get in touch with the organising club, which says it is always looking for helping hands.
