I personal habe been to serval medieval festivals in different cities, so far I have really great experience with then, I enjoyed the fest really much. So it didn't take me long to decided to visit this place, as soon as I discovered this place. Well, visitors do need to pay for the entrance, that's quite common in Germany through. the price is alright, i didn't feel like it was rip off or something. As we were here, it got music, food and some cool gear around. I found the place really interested. I even saw a bath there, which mean whoever go there, has to take a bath in front of other visitors. The idea was kinda funny. I also saw some training area for bows and swords. That's could be fun. We also tasted some nice medieval street food, quite nice. But it was quite pity, the Christmas market wasn't really big, it didn't take much time to walk around the whole place.

You'll find a lot of handcrafted items during the Christmas market such as wooden carved smokers, nutcrackers, light holders, tablecloth's and lace items. If you're looking for that true ambience of Christmas and slow pace you've got to come to visit this city.
