30 years Christkindlmarkt Marktplatz & 20 years Ries:innen in the Old Town

For three decades now, the Christmas market on the market square has been enchanting visitors of all ages in the run-up to Christmas. In addition to more than 60 stalls, highlights such as the sparkling Swarovski crystal tree and a nostalgic carousel as well as a colourful family programme with Punch and Judy shows, storytelling and children's music groups create a festive atmosphere.
