Tips & Advice
- Buy your child's Advent calendar card at the Butjadinger Tor reception ahead of time, because Santa only hands out gifts to children who have a card.
- Pick up a coupon sheet when you arrive, since it bundles ten Christmas coupons with a raffle slip at a saving and enters you in that day's draw.
- Book seats for your group ahead of time, as places in the Hühnerstall, the Kartoffelschuppen and other covered huts can be reserved for the Advent weeks.
- Stay until dark, when the light arches and the giant Christmas bell light up, and then catch the music and the daily raffle.
- Warm up on the heated terraces or in the heated Tenne, where extra wool blankets are available on cold evenings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do children get a present from Santa?
Buy a children's Advent calendar card at the Butjadinger Tor reception. Cards go on sale in October. From December 1, Santa comes to the Märchenhütte every day after a story and swaps each card for a gift.
What food and drink is there?
There are Glühwein and hot chocolate huts, a butter cake hut that also sells Berliner, two grill huts and a potato hut. There is also a hut with a wood-fired oven, one selling potato pancakes and a pizza hut.
Can we reserve seats for a group?
Yes. You can book places in the huts for the Advent weeks. The Hühnerstall seats up to 25. The new Kartoffelschuppen and several other huts seat 12 each.
Is there somewhere warm to sit?
Yes. The terraces in front of the house and the Tenne are heated, and wool blankets are available. Small covered huts give shelter in bad weather.
How does the coupon sheet and raffle work?
A coupon sheet has ten Christmas coupons and a raffle slip, sold for less than their face value. Fill in your address and drop the slip in the drum. Winners are drawn every day, and a slip only counts on the day you drop it in. You can buy extra slips.
