St. Nicholas Market in Haltern am See

On the first weekend of Advent, the market square in Haltern am See becomes a cozy gathering place for the whole family. Amid festively decorated huts, you can browse the offerings to the sound of Christmas music, discover arts and crafts, and treat yourself to a little break with a hot drink—no matter the weather. The adventure ice rink keeps things active: Take a few laps on the ice before diving back into the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle. A sparkling curtain of lights made of energy-efficient LEDs stretches across the sky, bathing the market square in atmospheric light. In this way, the St. Nicholas Market combines cozy Advent charm with winter fun.
