Many larger villages have their own Christmas market, so it can get monotonous and repetitive seeing the same stalls and the same kitchy items for sale but this market in the woods had its own nitch. The set up of the market was beautifully done. Every decoration and stall was thought through and no detail went missing. Paths weaved between the forest lit only by candles and the occasional decorative lamp. If snow covered the ground it would have been a romantically magical setting.
This is a few weeks late but earlier in December I enjoyed a Christmas market in the woods. It was cold and refreshing. The air smelled of pine, glühwein, sausages, chestnuts and cinnamon. Of all the places I’ve celebrated Christmas, Germany has been by far the best and most authentic. Even without snow the festiveness of each weihnachtsmarkt enhances the feel of Christmas.
