Daun im Goldrausch – Autumn Sales Sunday

Daun im Goldrausch is a campaign that the Gewerbe- und Verkehrsverein Daun e.V. (GVV) has been successfully running for several years. It combines shopping, events, and a prize draw into an atmospheric autumn program in the district capital of the Vulkaneifel.

The Concept: Gold Prize Draw

The heart of the campaign is the prize draw:

• Raffle tickets with purchases: With purchases in participating stores, customers receive raffle tickets or stamps.
• Prizes: Small gold bars as main prizes, other prizes as additional winnings.
• Draw: On the concluding Sunday, the prizes will be drawn and awarded.

This setup combines the incentive of local shopping with a playful element and strengthens customer loyalty to Daun's businesses.

Sunday Opening on October 25, 2026

The concluding Sunday in 2026 falls on the last weekend of October. From 12 PM to 5 PM, the shops in the city center will be open. Fashion, jewelry, shoes, books, toys, drugstore items – the entire range of Daun's retail sector will present its autumn and winter collections.

Golden Autumn in the Vulkaneifel

At the end of October, the Eifel region displays its most beautiful autumn colors – golden beech leaves, red maple leaves, coppery oak leaves. The Vulkaneifel landscape around Daun invites you for walks, hikes around the Maare (crater lakes), or a café visit in the Eifel villages. The Sunday opening complements the tourist offerings with an additional occasion.

The Third and Final Sunday Opening of 2026

Daun im Goldrausch concludes the series of three Sunday openings in Daun for 2026:

• March: Spring Sales Sunday with car show (March 29).
• June: Daun spielt! (Daun Plays!) with Sunday opening (June 21).
