Tips & Advice
- Get a riddle card early at the Tourist Information on Rathausplatz, because cards are handed out only while supplies last, or print one at home instead.
- Start at Scene 1 in the Wöhrl window by the children's Christmas market and follow the riddle through all ten windows in order.
- Have the kids answer every question on the riddle card, because only finished cards go into the draw for prizes like LEGOLAND and zoo tickets.
- Pair the walk with the Christkindlesmarkt on Rathausplatz, where the Himmlisches Postamt also gives out riddle cards.
- If December is busy, the windows stay up for a while after Christmas and traditionally come down in the first week of January.
Special Events & Promotions
- This year's theme is “Froschkönig, Rumpelstilzchen & Co.”, with tales from the Brothers Grimm.
