Tips & Advice
- Read the Stadtwerke-Heide-Eisstock-Cup rules and the ice rink rules before registering a team, since entries opened on October 7 for up to 160 teams.
- Stop by the four rotating huts on each visit, because their vendors keep changing, with dog treats one day and handmade Christmas items the next.
- If you make Christmas products, apply for one of the bookable rotating huts, which still had open dates in November and December as of early October.
- Bring the little ones along, since Santa Claus visits the Winterwelt and hands out gifts to the young guests.
- Dress warmly for time on the open market square, especially if you plan to watch the Eisstock teams compete on the ice rink.
