Advent atmosphere in the heart of Traunstein: The Christmas market at the town square
Between Jacklturm and St. Oswald's Church, the Traunstein Christmas Market unfolds its market atmosphere: The scent of wood, the glow of lights, and regional diversity make a stroll through the town square a shopping experience. On Saturday, 13.12.2025, the market is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM – ideal for discovering genuine craftsmanship and culinary specialties directly from producers.
Sensory impressions: Scents, colors, sound
Warm mulled wine and spicy punch, cinnamon and beeswax shape the air. Fairy lights reflect on the stalls while music and traditional contributions extend the weekly market character into the Advent season. The historic town square provides the stage – clear, pedestrian-friendly, with short distances.
Craft & direct marketing: Quality from the region
Over 25 festively decorated huts showcase craftsmanship in the best sense: live turning and wooden bowls, nativity figures, glass and ceramics art, sheep milk soaps, reverse glass pictures, beeswax candles, and alpaca products. Associations and charitable vendors complement the offer on selected days – on 13th and 14th December, BUND Naturschutz participates in the charitable hut. The range reflects the profile of a quality-oriented farmers' and Christmas market: seasonal gift ideas, sustainable materials, short distances.
Culinary delights: Specialties from the Chiemgau
Hearty sausages, cheese spaetzle, and sweet classics like Baumstriezel meet regional hot beverages. Many stalls collaborate with producers, focus on seasonal goods, and artisanal production – a plus for taste, transparency, and the local economy.
