“Advent in den Höfen” – Christmas markets in Quedlinburg

Experience the magic of Christmas time: full steam ahead to “Advent in den Höfen” (Advent in the Courtyards) in Quedlinburg!

Immerse yourself in a world of glittering lights, the scent of cinnamon and the rhythmic pounding of a real steam locomotive. The association invites you on a very special journey back in time: climb aboard, sit back and enjoy an unforgettable special trip to the World Heritage town of Quedlinburg.

A winter fairytale on rails. Forget the stress of looking for a parking space and the rush on the motorways. As soon as the heavy steam locomotive sets off with a powerful whistle and the white clouds of steam drift past the window, your holiday begins. In the cosy, heated carriages you can enjoy the passing winter landscape over a cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate from the on-board bistro.

In December, Quedlinburg transforms into a very special pre-Christmas dream. Against the backdrop of the historic market square, surrounded by old half-timbered houses, there is room for all the sensations we have associated with Christmas since childhood. And while your eyes and palate are being spoilt, your ears should not miss out – which is why Christmas music rings out in December.

In front of the magnificent half-timbered backdrop on the market square, the Christmas market offers a colourful range of attractions. The medieval stalls are particularly popular.
