Advent Glow at the Town Square: The Traunstein Christmas Market enchants
In the heart of the historic old town, framed by St. Oswald Church and Jacklturm, the Traunstein Christmas Market opens its huts. Pure market atmosphere: scents of mulled wine and roasted almonds, warm sea of lights, and handcrafted goods directly from regional producers create a shopping experience with regional diversity.
Craftsmanship with Heart: Authentic, Regional, Masterful
At over 25 festively decorated stands, direct marketers and artisans showcase their skills: hand-turned wooden bowls, nativity figures, reverse glass painting, glass objects, beeswax candles, sheep milk soaps, and alpaca products. The stand plan with exhibitor overview makes the tour of the Christmas market, similar to a farmers' market, transparent and of high quality.
Moments of Enjoyment from Chiemgau
Between Baumstriezel, sausages, cheese noodles, punch, and mulled wine, there are short paths to happiness. Many vendors come from the region and stand for product quality, short supply chains, and seasonal specialties. Thus, the stroll becomes a tasteful shopping experience for gifts and festivities.
Program with Tradition for Young and Old
Puppet theater on Wednesday afternoons, music ensembles, clarinet performances, and the visit of St. Nicholas liven up the market. On opening day, the Traunstein Christmas Angel delivers a welcoming speech; individual stands are open on Thursdays to Saturdays until 10 PM. On Christmas Eve, it is open in the morning – perfect for last-minute shopping.
Arriving Well: Public Transport, Parking, Accessibility
From the train station, it takes only a few minutes on foot to the town square. Larger parking areas, such as the festival ground at Siegsdorfer Straße, ease arrival; there are time-limited parking options in the city center. Vehicles with an E license plate can park at the Karl-Theodor parking lot for up to three hours for free. The flat town square offers short paths and a well-accessible market area.
