Tips & Advice

  • Walk the whole route from the Gänsebrunnen along Marktstraße to the Stiftshof, because the stalls stretch around the Stadtturm through the old town.
  • Save time for the Waldbühne in the Stiftshof, where fir trees, straw and wood chips make a small Christmas forest with a cabin feel.
  • Shop for gifts at the stalls run by Backnang clubs, schools and churches, where both the goods and the stall decorations are handmade.
  • Try a few of the unusual drinks and treats sold at the stalls as you stroll between the Stadtturm and the Stiftshof.
  • Dress warmly if you plan to stay into the evening, since the whole market runs outdoors through the old town streets.
