Tips & Advice
- Bring the kids on Saturday or Sunday afternoon to meet the Nikolaus, and let them ride the children's carousel while you're there.
- Stay until after dark, because a fire and light show takes place every evening of the market.
- Choose Saturday for the longest visit, because it stays open later than Friday or Sunday and gives time for both stages and the evening show.
- Check what's on at both the Burg stage and the Keller stage, because music, readings and shows are spread across the two.
- Come by public transport or park nearby, because the Wasserburg is right in the town centre and easy to reach either way.
