Rammenau
Stroll through a small Christmas market where you can watch, browse, and participate in traditional crafts from Upper Lusatia. Stalls offer Christmas gifts such as jewelry, soaps, blue-printed fabrics, textiles, pottery, and much more. Look forward to herbs, jams, and homemade liqueurs, beekeeping products, smoked goods, natural soaps, textiles, and unique ceramics. The Nikolausmanufaktur has plenty of hands-on activities for young and old alike—you can watch the products being made and even try your hand at them yourself. In the servants’ kitchen, the historic wood-fired oven is also stoked—here, you can bake butter cookies and decorate them to your heart’s content. The Schlosscafé team will take care of your culinary needs: Stalls both inside and outside offer savory and sweet treats—and, of course, hot spiced wine punch is a must. 1:00 p.m. St. Nicholas’s visit in the castle foyer 2:00 p.m. Family tour of the castle 3:00 p.m. St. Nicholas’s visit in the castle foyer 4:00 p.m. Children’s concert in the Hall of Mirrors There is an admission fee for the castle grounds; a small donation is required for some hands-on activities.
