See the heart of Christmas in Lindau: the harbor market. Lovingly decorated with wood huts selling all sorts of Holidays decorations, twinkling lights, and a true feast of Christmas German delicatessen, like mulled wine (Glühwein), roasted almonds, original Lebkuchen from Nuremberg (gingerbread cakes). All topped by festive music provided by local brass bands. Pass the Märchenwald, or Fairytale Forest, where pines are planted at the port, spreading their aroma through the market and creating a special atmosphere. Many Fairytale characters, wild animals and other surprises will await you here. From the harbor with the Lions of Bavaria and the Lighthouse, pass the Mangturm, a famous medieval watchtower,as well as the Thieves Tower and the nearby Fools Fountain. We’ll pass the Alte Rathaus, or Old Town Hall and it’s breathtaking and somewhat scandalous murals, the Haus Zum Cavazzen and its façade and the Church of Saint Stephan where the Natural Nativity Scene is reproduced every year.
