Contemplative atmosphere by the lake with many lights.
The Weihnachtsmarkt am See in Brunnen is a beautiful and contemplative Christmas market on the lake promenade and in the town center. The atmosphere by the lake makes the market unique. It is Friday evening, the first Advent weekend, the day when the Christmas magic begins. Suddenly, I am greeted by a pleasant aroma. «Mhhmm, sweet honey Ohhh, freshly baked gingerbread Aaah, roasted almonds Yes, I know this scent from my childhood!» Old memories come to life. The aroma leads me to a side street. The charming market stalls along the street guide me to the Christmas market in Brunnen. The atmosphere by the lake with many lights reflecting in the water of Lake Lucerne makes the market unique.
