What makes this market special
In Advent the lake is not for swimming but a backdrop, the path around the water is short and combines well with a walk.
21 November to 21 December 2026, open Fri 14:00–20:00, Sat & Sun 11:00–20:00.
For children: craft hour every Saturday 14:00–16:00, and the Christ Child visits every Advent Sunday 15:00–17:00.
Pony rides Friday to Sunday from 12:00, weather permitting.
Brass players on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, plus Perchten and Krampus runs.
- Market right by the water
- Very family-oriented, many locals
- Parking available nearby
