Tips & Advice

  • Plan your visit around the different weekend hours: Saturday runs 12:00–20:00 and Sunday 11:00–18:00, with changes possible.
  • Stay into the evening to see the monastery and pond illuminated and enjoy the market’s seasonal music.
  • Keep the afternoon open if you want to see the Neuzeller Spielmannszug enter with Santa Claus.
  • Dress warmly for an evening visit, since the market takes place in and around the monastery and the evening lights are outdoors.
  • With children, leave time for pony carriage rides, the carousel, sheep feeding, and stick-bread baking by the campfire.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The Neuzeller Spielmannszug marches in each afternoon and brings Santa Claus with it.
