Know Before You Go

  • Hours: December 1–23: 16:30; December 24: 13:00.

Tips & Advice

  • Be at the Finkenhäuschen on Finkenherd before the start, because the whole group sets off together from there to look for that day's house.
  • On December 24 the meet-up is earlier in the day than on the other dates, so plan Christmas Eve around the earlier start.
  • Come back on several days if you can, because a different door opens at a different house each day and every one hides a new surprise.
  • Dress warmly for the late-afternoon search, since the walk to that day's house on the Schlossberg happens outdoors in December.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The last door opens on Christmas Eve, December 24, and the group meets earlier in the day than usual.
