If you're traveling through the Erzgebirge mountains in Germany I would recommend coming to this…read morecity. It's beautiful buildings and churches and how small the Market place, it gives you a sense of the true Christmas spirit. Unfortunately when I visited there was no snow on the ground but I have seen pictures of what the city looks like with snow and it just glistens, sparkles with lights, sounds and smells of Christmas! 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.

What a beautiful market!…read more Yes you pay to park 2€ Yes you pay to enter 6€, kids under 12 are free. If you're coming here with a baby, please baby wear! I saw way too many people struggling to get up and down the hills, gravel and mud. I loved the medieval vibe from this entire market. Everyone dresses up and they're all so nice! You can ask for a picture and they'll pose! We loved everything about this place, and could have easily spent all day here. There was so much to see! All of the vendors sell their own work! How cool! You'll get a one of a kind piece of art to take home with you or a perfect gift for someone who doesn't live here. I love seeing all of the animals they have around markets, but these dressed up camels were the cherry on top! And to see kids being able to get on them for a quick photo op made me extremely jealous!! Hahah. Super easy to find, bring PLENTY of cash, and don't worry about having to eat in the rain or snow, they have many areas to take a break and sit down at indoors!
