Bad Rothenfelder St. Nicholas and Christmas Market

Second Sunday of Advent. - Instead of romantic snow flurries, it is raining and storming, and the outdoor thermometer shows eight degrees Celsius. We brave the dreary North German weather and escape into the warmth and calm of the St. Nicholas and Christmas Market in Bad Rothenfelde.

From afar, the illuminated graduation tower greets us and shortly after surrounds us with its soothing aerosol-rich air. The landmark of Bad Rothenfelde is flanked these days by small Christmas stalls offering a charming selection of lovingly handcrafted gifts such as jewelry, textiles, honey, or decorative woodwork. Even the typical mulled wine, crepe, and sausage booths as well as the small ride blend unobtrusively into the atmospheric, pre-Christmas scene.
