Advent market set against the backdrop of Hellbrunn Palace
What makes the Hellbrunn Advent Magic so special is its historic park with its water features.
More than 700 conifers are decorated with red Christmas baubles and fairy lights. The many little lights look particularly beautiful in the late afternoon, as it slowly starts to get dark.
The castle façade forms part of the Christmas decorations. Its 24 windows are transformed into a giant Advent calendar. The Christmas market offers:
- Handmade Christmas tree decorations and festive decorations
- Traditional crafts and small gift ideas
- Regional specialities and sweet treats
- Warming punch and mulled wine
- Christmas music and a varied Advent programme
If you take the time, you’ll discover many lovely details in the historic parkland and castle grounds.
