Tips & Advice

  • Reserve a free log cabin ahead for groups of up to 16 if you want a dedicated place to gather.
  • Online cabin reservations open October 12, 2026; use the booking page from then if you want to arrange a group hut.
  • Remember that the huts and tables are self-service, so collect food and drinks yourself rather than expecting table service.
  • Factor in the stated minimum spend: it applies to food and drinks across the entire market, not just cabin orders.
  • Bring warm layers for browsing the market in the Poststraße and Rathaus courtyard, as the event uses outdoor areas.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Free entry on all open days.
  • Free-reservable huts for groups of up to 16.
