Christmas market Seiffen

The Seiffen Christmas Market, an annual pre-Christmas festival, is a truly magical experience deeply rooted in the traditions of the Ore Mountains. It traditionally takes place every year against the picturesque backdrop of the town center at the Seiffen Town Hall, a place renowned for its rich craftsmanship, especially in the making of Ore Mountain wooden toys and Christmas decorations..

This artisanal tradition makes Seiffen an ideal location for a Christmas market that is unique in its kind. The market stretches through the town center, offering visitors a blend of traditional and modern stalls with a wide array of goods and culinary delights. Surrounded by historic buildings, the market creates a special, almost timeless atmosphere.

The market stalls offer a variety of products, from handmade wooden toys and Christmas pyramids to intricate carvings. These items are not only beautiful to behold but also represent the rich cultural heritage of the region.

A distinctive feature of the Seiffen Christmas Market is the traditional delicacies and beverages on offer. From Ore Mountain stollen and gingerbread to savory sausages and mulled wine, the culinary diversity is impressive and reflects the regional flavors.

The idyllic location in the Ore Mountains makes the visit an unforgettable experience, not just because of the market itself but also due to the picturesque winter landscape that surrounds it. A visit here offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the festive atmosphere and become part of a centuries-old tradition that remains vibrant today.

The Christmas market will take place on 24 days from Friday, 29. November to Sunday, 22. December 2024 in Seiffen.
