Christmas market Schwarzenberg

The Schwarzenberg Christmas Market, a festive highlight in the Ore Mountains, opens its doors annually from the Friday before the second Advent until the Sunday of the third Advent. Visitors to the Schwarzenberg Christmas Market are greeted by the picturesque setting of the marketplace, where festively decorated market stalls extend. The Schwarzenberg city administration, acting as the organizer, brings not only its organizational expertise but also a deep understanding of the cultural significance of this event.

Surrounding the marketplace, historic buildings give the market a unique atmosphere. Visitors can look forward to a diverse program on the market stage, enriched by selected traders in the surrounding streets and alleys. A medieval market bustle in the castle courtyard, a Christmas mountain with life-sized figures, and the world's oldest still-existing large pyramid offer unique experiences. Special highlights include the Schwarzenberg Fairy Tale Parade on the second Advent Sunday and the Great Schwarzenberg Mountain Parade on the third Advent Saturday.

The market is known not only for its festive atmosphere but also for the traditional delicacies and drinks on offer, reflecting the warm and welcoming culture of the Ore Mountains. Fortunately, there are ample parking facilities near the marketplace, making the visit even more pleasant.

Schwarzenberg, also known as the 'Pearl of the Ore Mountains,' is famous for its picturesque location in the mountains and offers much to discover beyond the market. Situated in a valley basin, the old town, crowned on a rock spur with the Schwarzenberg Castle evolved from a medieval fortification and St. George's Church, is prominently visible.

In conclusion, the Schwarzenberg Christmas Market is not just a place of trade and entertainment but also a living testimony of local history and culture, attracting and delighting visitors from near and far.
