Come hither, I bid you....to the Burg Lichtenburg Medival Christmas Market. This castle holds a very special place in my heart. I've attended weddings, lunches, romantic dinners and festivals here. But the best thing about this place is I know I'm almost home when I'm driving on the autobahn and see it in the distance. That's right, I live about 5km away from Burg Lichtenburg and each night before I close my eyes, I have a picturesque view...talk about feeling like a princess :D
This market serves up delicious hot drinks, noodle dishes, crepes, flammkuchen, home made honey & of course those one of a kind holiday gifts. Your welcome to come in period clothing, in fact during the medival fesitvals your admission is discounted if not free for doing so. Today we opted to come bundled up after the gentle snow had fallen all throughout the night and morning. Pictures are a must here as there are many "candid moments" ready to be captured. Wanna get warm??? Performers showcased their talents playing period instruments, singing, dancing, fire throwing inside a heated arena. There were live animals and a chance to try your hand at archery. It truly is as if you'd fallen back into time. This market was open for just 2 days(the first advent calendar weekend.......December 1 &2, 2012. Below are "some" pictures I took while there.
