For a truly dramatic Christmas market setting, head to the Christmas market in the Ravenna Gorge, where 40 wooden huts selling traditional handicrafts and Black Forest delicacies cluster beneath the illuminated sandstone arches of the Ravenna Viaduct. If you stroll between the Christmas-decorated wooden stalls, you will find selected handicrafts, handmade unique pieces from the region and the delicious scent of Black Forest specialties from sweet to savoury. What originated as a small gathering of local vendors under the 40-metre-high bridge has become so popular that it’s now a ticketed event. Tickets (from €5.50) must be bought in advance.
The Ravenna Gorge, also known as Ravennaschlucht in German, is a scenic gorge located in the Black Forest region of Germany. One of the highlights of the Ravenna Gorge is the historic Ravenna Bridge (Ravennabrücke). This bridge spans the gorge and provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The Ravenna Gorge is accessible by car, and there are parking facilities available. Additionally, the scenic train journey on the Höllentalbahn provides a unique perspective of the gorge for those traveling by rail. Click here for more info about parking during the Christmas market.
