Tips & Advice
- Come back on a different Advent weekend, because the exhibitors rotate and you'll find a new mix of handmade crafts and regional products each time.
- Take the train if you can: Radstadt station is an express stop, and the walk to the town centre is only about ten minutes.
- Bring the kids ready to join in, since candle dipping, cookie baking and Christmas crafts are all hands-on activities for children and families.
- Head to the Swedish fire torches and campfires with children, where they grill sausages and listen to stories the way people in the Pongau do.
- Dress warmly for an evening outdoors on the square. Mulled wine, tea and warm Bauernkrapfen with jam will help keep the chill off.
