Tips & Advice

  • Plan your visit for Saturday, December 12, when Mosbach's specialty shops hold their Advent shopping night alongside the market.
  • Don't rush off when the stalls close, because food and drink service carries on for another hour every evening.
  • Walk beyond the market square into the narrow lanes that lead off it, where the huts sit among the medieval half-timbered houses.
  • Crafters who can't commit to the full run should apply for a part-time swap hut and phone ahead if applying after April.
  • Dress warmly if you plan to stay into the evening, since the whole market is outdoors among the lit huts and lanes.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Advent shopping night of the Mosbach specialty shops on Saturday, December 12
