The picturesque municipality of Gahlen invites you to its annual St. Nicholas procession and Advent market. A highlight of the festival is the arrival of St. Nicholas, who travels across the canal to Gahlen on a ship. The Advent market starts at the Törkentreck parking lot and offers you a variety of regional products. Later, St. Nicholas is expected at the canal to continue his journey to the lively village of Gahlen. The traditional Santa Claus bags are a coveted commodity and their availability is limited. The St. Nicholas procession and the Advent market in Gahlen are an unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the festive atmosphere of the pre-Christmas period.
