The charming Rurberg Christmas market, which takes place every year from the first to the third weekend of Advent, is a highlight of the pre-Christmas period. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Eiserbachsee lake, the market exudes a festive atmosphere and invites both locals and visitors to enjoy a very special pre-Christmas experience. The unique atmosphere on the shores of the lake is enhanced by the scent of mulled wine and the stalls offering a variety of handmade products, artistic gifts and regional specialties. There is a special highlight for children at dusk: a visit from St. Nicholas, who makes children's eyes light up with little surprises. The market is easy to reach thanks to ample parking facilities in the immediate vicinity and the 'Rurberg Seeufer' bus stop right next to the market.
