Winter magic in the town of Füssen
As Christmas approaches, the romantic old town shines in all its glory. Lightly covered in snow, the colorful houses are even more beautiful to look at. The pedestrian zone is tranquil and you can take a leisurely stroll through the alleyways. At this time of year, many events take place that will amaze children. Take a look at the Neuschwanstein Festival Theater - musicals such as The Spirit of Christmas or Cinderella are suitable for children and fun for the whole family!
Of fragrant stalls and the song of angels
One of the most beautiful events that take place in Füssen throughout the year is the Advent market in the St. Mang monastery courtyard. Here you can marvel at colorfully decorated stalls and impressive lighting. Many delicious treats are prepared by local restaurateurs and the annually changing program includes lots of musical and artistic performances. While parents take a leisurely stroll through the market, children can create something homemade in the warm craft workshop or look over the shoulder of the basket weaver. St. Nicholas also drops by the market and hands out little surprises. At the New Year's torchlight swim, you can watch daring swimmers swim through the cold Lech with lights on.
"Krippeleluaga"
This is the Allgäu term for looking at the many nativity scenes that are exhibited in the churches during Advent. You will have a lot of fun marveling at the little figures in the self-made nativity scenes. Allgäu nativity scenes have a long tradition and are an important part of Christmas culture in the Allgäu. They stand for craftsmanship, artistic expression and religious solidarity.
