About

Around 35 stalls are spread through the old-town lanes along the Rur, with more inside the market hall, where nativity scenes are on display. The Troistorff house lights up as a giant Advent calendar, and children get a historic carousel and Saturday craft workshops. The market only opens Friday to Sunday and gets very busy: leave the car at the park-and-ride sites at Imgenbroich, Höfen or Haag and take the shuttle bus. Wear sturdy shoes, as the cobbled streets are steep.

Opening hours

Open on the Advent weekends only (Friday–Sunday): 27–29 Nov, 4–6 Dec, 11–13 Dec and 18–20 Dec. Closed Monday to Thursday.
