Baden-WürttembergFestivals, fairs, adventure parcs and big events
Turning a vacation in Baden-Württemberg into a real experience is not quite difficult when thinking of the amount of public festivals, medieval markets, amusement parks, museums, old castles and fortresses or the Swabian-Alemannic Fasnet the federal state calls its own. Did you know that there are 12,250 public festivals and fairs in Germany that attract around 178 million visitors every year? There is a perfect activity for every time of the year. You will be amazed.
Medieval markets and knight festivals take place all over the year at places of accordingly surroundings. Go back to past times when itinerant entertainers, minstrels and fire spitters entertained audiences. Pamper yourselve with tarte flambée and honey mead or just relive knights' plays just as they had been in the Middle Ages, as for example those in Horb, where every June a whole city turns medieval.
Fasnet – In Cologne it’s carnival, in Mainz it is called Fassenacht and in Swabia it‘s Fasnet. Completely different to other cities in Germany during Fasnet, costumes resemble similar to those some hundreds years ago, the "Hästrägern", horrific witches, dangerous magicians and frightening figures of the Middle Ages. Starting 6th of January fools are on the move during nebulous nights or witch's dances take place until the "Fasnet’s burning" on Ash Wednesday.
Christmas fairs spread bright lights shining from many booths selling marvellous Christmas articles, handicrafts, or hot mulled wine and waffles. Christmas fairs start at the end of November and last sometimes until the 6th of January. Their atmosphere is extremely enchanting especially when snow is falling on the little houses’ roofs and whitens all Christmas trees.
