Dresden: Oldest Christmas Market – Dresden Striezelmarkt

The Dresden Striezelmarkt has opened its doors every year since 1434. It is therefore Germany’s oldest Christmas market. For the opening, a giant stollen is cut in a special ceremony and then transported in a procession from the Dresden Zwinger to the Altmarkt. Another highlight is the world’s largest Erzgebirge step pyramid in the middle of the Striezelmarkt. With a height of 14.62 meters, it was even included in the Guinnes Book of Records in 1999 as the largest pyramid.

Freiburg: Christmas market in the Ravenna Gorge

What makes the Christmas market in the Ravenna Gorge one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany? That is clearly the exceptional location at the foot of the Höllental near Breitnau near Freiburg. A small beautiful village of 40 wooden huts, nestled between Black Forest fir trees and the railroad viaduct of the Höllentalbahn, already shines in the distance as a sea of lights. A special highlight after a successful conference or as a team event is a guided torchlight or winter hike to the Christmas market.
