Tips & Advice

  • Walk the route through the decorated town center and stop at the shops along the way, where many of the nativity scenes are on display.
  • Bring a phone or camera, because the route includes photo spots next to the nativity scenes and light installations.
  • Plan part of your walk for after dark so you can see the light installations along the route lit up.
  • Dress warmly for a winter stroll, because the trail takes you outdoors between locations across the town center.
