Quedlinburg Living Advent Calendar
Children, parents, and visitors gather to search together for the house marked with a large letter A on the Quedlinburger Schlossberg. Each day reveals a newly opened door at one of 24 festively decorated houses, unveiling a sweet and fairytale surprise behind it. Everyone is welcome to participate in the tradition leading up to Christmas Eve.

Tips & Advice
- Be at the Finkenhäuschen on Finkenherd before the start, because the whole group sets off together from there to look for that day's house.
- On December 24 the meet-up is earlier in the day than on the other dates, so plan Christmas Eve around the earlier start.
- Come back on several days if you can, because a different door opens at a different house each day and every one hides a new surprise.
- Dress warmly for the late-afternoon search, since the walk to that day's house on the Schlossberg happens outdoors in December.
Special Events & Promotions
- The last door opens on Christmas Eve, December 24, and the group meets earlier in the day than usual.
