They are simply part of the right Advent atmosphere: Christmas markets. If you’re still looking for authentic markets, you should definitely go to Thuringia. Many of what are considered typical German Christmas traditions have their roots here. The Christmas tree, for example, and the glass Christmas tree ball. World-famous Christmas carols such as “O Tannenbaum”, “O you cheerful” and “Every Year Again” were also first sung in Thuringia. If you have never been to a Christmas market in Thuringia once in your life, you may have missed the best part of the pre-Christmas season.
Many of the 89 Christmas markets between Altenburg and Zella-Mehlis are held in medieval castles, palaces and picturesque half-timbered towns. Between mulled wine and all sorts of delicacies, local craft businesses offer original Christmas tree decorations and accessories from their own production. At many a medieval market you can even look over the shoulders of the craftsmen and women. A Christmas souvenir is always something very special. A gift with a story.
Thuringia’s capital Erfurt is pretty much in the middle of these places, making it the ideal starting point for traveling through wintry Thuringia.
