skills, while Christmas gift ideas such as scented candles, artistic woods,
textiles and ceramics are all offered for sale. And you simply have to try some
of the gingerbread, Stollberger Stollen (Christmas bread), hot spiced wine and
exquisite cookies. The kids can even make their own cookies in the Children’s
Bakery.
