If you’re living or visiting in Germany around the Christmas
season, one of the most memorable experiences for anyone in Germany is savoring
the winter holiday season at one of the country’s numerous Christmas markets.
This year we decided to take in a different type of market near our home
that is unique for its medieval setting. As we strolled through the Christmas
market within the walls of the castle, we saw numerous vendors dressed in
medieval costumes. In addition to the normal Christmas markets goods on
sale, there was a good sampling of medieval vendors selling and/or
demonstrating goods from that era. We even saw an occasional minstrel
playing a flute. The weather was cold and foggy adding an additional
setting that further enhanced the atmosphere of this market. Lichtenberg Castel
is located a few miles from the town of Kusel in the state of Rheinland Pflaz, Germany. The
castle sits on the long crest of a hill that overlooks the surrounding valley
offering great views over the local countryside. Check out the
pictures below and let us know what you think!
