Tips & Advice

  • Look for the Rettenberger Bergräucherwerk, the village's own mountain incense, if you want a small and very personal gift to take home from the market.
  • Dress warmly, because the stalls are wooden huts set up outdoors in the Kurgärtle and the market carries on into the evening.
  • The market runs for one day only, so set aside the whole afternoon if you want to browse every local club's and exhibitor's stall.
  • Bring the children along, since the market is billed as a family event with brass and folk music listed on the program.
