We decided to explore the Christmas markets in the Pfalz this year instead of traveling to a larger city in Germany to see a more well-known market. It will be good to know what's to offer here in our region in case people want to come visit us next December!
Our first market was Deidesheim which is about 9 minutes south of Bad Dürkheim by train. The market had a lot to offer - the usual Glühwein and bratwurst of course but also many ornaments, leather and wooden crafts, glassware and even some potpourri.
First things first, after enjoying the pretty sunset we grabbed some Glühwein:
Our little Glühwein mugs, with Martin taking a picture of them to send to some friends:
Then of course we had to find some sausage!
Okay so maybe the main reason we go to Christmas markets is for the food and drink but the booths were all very atmospheric and cozy too! This one had tons of ornaments hanging from the ceiling:
Here's the required heart-shaped-cookie booth:
And a few pictures of the market as a whole:
And a final mug of Glühwein while standing next to some neat burning logs for warmth:
There was also a nice brass quartet playing Christmas music but I didn't get a picture of them. Overall not a bad way to spend a few hours on a Saturday evening.
