Tips & Advice
- Come on Sunday if you want the gingerbread market, the Rehauer Weihnachtsmarkt and Sunday shop opening all on the same day.
- The market opens later on Friday than on Saturday and Sunday, so plan a weekend afternoon if you want the longest visit.
- Taste the gingerbread at different stalls before buying, since bakers from three regions sell their products side by side here.
- Try the gingerbread mulled wine or gingerbread bratwurst while you browse, because the specialties go well beyond the classic cake.
- Bring a bag for gifts: stollen, cinnamon stars, butter cookies and Baumkuchen are sold alongside the gingerbread.
Special Events & Promotions
- On Sunday, the Lebkuchenmarkt is expanded to include the Rehau Christmas market.
- Sunday also features open Sunday shopping.
