Bad Sachsa — A South Harz Spa Town with Advent Charm

Bad Sachsa is a state-recognized climatic health resort on the southern edge of the Harz Mountains. With its spa gardens, forests, and tranquil atmosphere, the town has been a popular destination for those seeking relaxation for generations. During the Advent season, Bad Sachsa reveals a particularly atmospheric side: the Kurhaus, the spa gardens, and the town center are decorated for Christmas, and the Advent at the Kurhaus forms the festive highlight of the pre-Christmas period.

Three Festive Days at the Kurhaus

In 2026, Advent at the Kurhaus will span three days. On Friday, December 12th, the market opens from 5 PM to 9 PM, creating a particularly atmospheric ambiance as dusk falls. On Saturday, December 13th, the stalls are open from 2 PM to 9 PM — the long Saturday is ideal for extended Advent strolls. On Sunday, December 14th, the market opens at 11 AM and closes at 8 PM.

Stalls and Offerings

At the Advent bazaar, visitors will find a carefully curated selection of stalls offering arts and crafts, Christmas decorations, gift ideas, and regional specialties. Culinary delights include classic Advent fare: crêpes, bratwurst, fish specialties, mulled wine, children's punch, hot chocolate, waffles, and candied almonds will be available for guests.

Doncalli Puppet Theatre and Family Program

A special highlight is the Doncalli puppet theatre, which particularly delights children. The theatre offers age-appropriate performances, lovingly staged, ensuring beaming smiles on children's faces. On Sunday, a photo spot will also be set up, allowing families to take photos against a festive backdrop.

Free and Accessible

Admission is free. The area around the Kurhaus is largely accessible and suitable for families with strollers or seniors with walking aids.
