Tips & Advice
- Come to the pre-opening on November 21, when Gaucho Gerd & the Steigbügel'z bring live rock'n'roll from the Emsland to the lakeside market.
- If you miss the Advent weekends, come between the holidays, December 28–30, when the market reopens with live music on each of those days.
- Let the kids ride the small carousel, then warm up with mulled wine and fresh crêpes or waffles from the stalls and the Backhuus.
- Shop the stalls for handmade gifts, sculptures, homemade Christmas decorations and dog accessories, and save room for gingerbread and roasted almonds.
- Dress warmly, because the market is outdoors by the lake and is open into the evening on every market day.
