Tips & Advice
- Follow the one-way system into Dudeldorf and do what the parking staff tell you, because you can only park along the roads in the traffic plan.
- Go in through the upper gate, the lower gate or the castle car park, which are the three ways into the market in the old village center.
- Bring the kids on either day, because St. Nicholas and Knecht Ruprecht hand out Dudeldorfer Weckmänner to children on both Saturday and Sunday.
- Duck into the open barns, garages and cellars along the narrow lanes, where exhibitors sell their handmade crafts and Christmas gift ideas.
- Leave time for a concert in the parish church, which is lit up for Christmas during the market weekend.
