Tips & Advice
- Leave the car in the Hohenfelser Straße parking garage, which is free for 14 hours, since there is no parking near the castle and the access road is closed.
- Allow extra time to find a parking space, because some of the spaces in the town center are closed while the center is being renovated.
- Go on the second weekend if you want Kolping's Burgtrunk or the Partnerschaftskomitee's wine, cheese and knives, as neither is there on the first weekend.
- Go on the first weekend for felt and knitwear from Hibler-Hofer and wooden items from Kathrin Kreuzer, since both are only there that weekend.
- Dress warmly, because much of the market is spread out through the lit-up castle gardens and the castle courtyard rather than indoors.
Special Events & Promotions
- Second weekend only: Kolping's Burgtrunk and open sandwiches, plus wine, cheese and knives from the Partnerschaftskomitee
- First weekend only: felt and knitwear from Hibler-Hofer and wooden items from Kathrin Kreuzer
