Tips & Advice

  • Park for free on Richard-Wagner-Straße and walk the signposted 10 minutes, because parking in the narrow old town gets very tight.
  • Don't block rescue routes, driveways or restricted areas in the old town, since enforcement officers patrol during market hours and issue fines.
  • Leave your dog at home, because animals are banned from the grounds during the market.
  • Bring children on Saturday or Sunday afternoon to use the free wooden play-mobile alongside the pony rides and carousels.
  • Head inside Markt Zwanzig if the weather turns, since its indoor area is sheltered and full of handmade pyramids, ornaments and soaps.

Special Events & Promotions

  • A free wooden play-mobile for children on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
