Tips & Advice

  • Come by car if you can, since public transport only reaches Johanniskreuz at certain times and only as an on-demand Ruftaxi or Rufbus.
  • Stay into the evening, when torches and fires light up the market and fire artists show off their skills.
  • Dress warmly, since the market is set outdoors in the middle of the Palatinate Forest and carries on into the evening.
  • If you come by e-bike, you can use the charging station and the bike repair stand on the grounds.
  • Try the organic mulled wine in its rustic Pfälzer Mini-Urschoppen glass together with the wild roast from the local forests.
