December - Time of the Christmas markets

This year I visited for the first time the Christmas market in Ravennaschlucht. Underneath a railroad viaduct you can find around fourty lodges selling food, arts and crafts. Unfortunately there was no snow, but still it was a great and peaceful atmosphere.

 In comparison the Christmas market in Freiburg is much more busy. On the weekends you have to push yourself through the crowd to see the lodges or to get a glass of hot wine. Still, the smell of food and drinks and all the different groups performing carols, brings out the christmas spirit.
