GREAT LIVE MUSIC!…read more This is a huge event that sprawls across the center of the city. Along with a variety of food and craft vendors, there is live music EVERYWHERE. There were about 7 or 8 stages that always had some sort of live entertainment from morning until late night. Super! As one walks along the old streets, one can hear all types of music bellowing out from various bars and pubs - from jazz and blues to rock and rockabilly. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in the variety of foods. I expected more foods with onion. We had to search for a booth that offered onion cake (zwiebelkuchen) and it wasn't very good. I would definitely go back to this event. Tip: This event takes place in October. Take extra warm clothes for the evening. It's bone chillingly cold.

What a great experience happening upon this private organic produce operation during my travels…read more The co-owner "Gerhard" (sp?) was a delight to chat with - sharing some fascinating facts and insights about his farm, hop garden and bee hives, the Harz Mountain range, local climate and history. If I hadn't been traveling by train, I would've purchased more. But the honey I bought (labeled by year and season) is truly amazing. If you've rented an apartment for a few days or more, this is a great place to stock up on organic produce and more. What a fantastic find!
