Location
Know Before You Go
- Parking: There is no parking in the market area for safety reasons, and access to the castle is closed. Visitors are directed to public parking and the Volksfestplatz. Parking in the Hohenfelser Straße parking garage is free for 14 hours. Some parking spaces in the town center are closed due to renovation work.
Tips & Advice
- Leave the car in the Hohenfelser Straße parking garage, which is free for 14 hours, since there is no parking near the castle and the access road is closed.
- Allow extra time to find a parking space, because some of the spaces in the town center are closed while the center is being renovated.
- Go on the second weekend if you want Kolping's Burgtrunk or the Partnerschaftskomitee's wine, cheese and knives, as neither is there on the first weekend.
- Go on the first weekend for felt and knitwear from Hibler-Hofer and wooden items from Kathrin Kreuzer, since both are only there that weekend.
- Dress warmly, because much of the market is spread out through the lit-up castle gardens and the castle courtyard rather than indoors.
Special Events & Promotions
- Second weekend only: Kolping's Burgtrunk and open sandwiches, plus wine, cheese and knives from the Partnerschaftskomitee
- First weekend only: felt and knitwear from Hibler-Hofer and wooden items from Kathrin Kreuzer
