Romantic Advent magic in Pirna: experience mulled wine and a fairytale grotto!

The anticipation for the contemplative time of the year is growing and with it the countdown to the Christmas markets in 2025. A very special market will ring in Advent this year in the Schloßschänke in Pirna. The new Advent magic on the Sonnenstein Castle grounds promises a romantic start to the pre-Christmas season. In contrast to the Canaletto market, which is considered the city's main market, this market will delight guests with a fine selection of mulled wine, hearty dishes and sweet treats. According to owner Marcus Galle, the special atmosphere is intended to put visitors in the Christmas spirit.

The Advent magic takes place on the four Advent weekends and includes a great program with cabaret and a fairytale grotto that will not only make children's eyes light up. There are also different types of mulled wine to discover and matching grilled dishes that are freshly prepared. Many guests have expressed a desire to experience something unique. The weather may be cold, but the magic of Advent ensures cozy and warm moments.

The Christmas markets in Germany

The enthusiasm for Christmas markets can be felt across the country. According to the ADAC website[3], markets in Germany attract millions of visitors every year. From classic village festivals to large city events, there is something for everyone. Well-known markets like that Munich Christmas market at Marienplatz, which dates back to the 14th century, offers Bavarian charm and traditional craftsmanship. This year it will take place from November 24th to December 24th and will also feature interactive programs such as children's workshops and daily live music.

Another interesting market is the Christmas market in Augsburg, which seamlessly follows the traditions of the region and opens its doors from November 24th to December 24th. Here visitors can look forward to the big angel game at the town hall, which attracts crowds every year.

Diversity in Advent

But smaller, charming markets can also be found in almost every city. The international flair of the Christmas market in Essen attracts many people from near and far, while the Tegernsee Advent magic in Bavaria is known for its ice carvers and alphorn players. With dates ranging from the end of November to December, the selection of Christmas markets in Germany is immense.

Visitors can expect colorful lights, festive sounds and an atmosphere full of anticipation. No matter where the path leads, the pre-Christmas period is a special experience that creates bonding moments. Advent in Pirna and elsewhere becomes a time of being together and celebrating together.

Whether in the city center or at the rural market - people experience the diversity and warm hospitality at every stand. It remains exciting to see which Christmas market will win the hearts of visitors this year! Only one thing is certain: the Advent season will once again offer very special shining moments this year.
