Advent Market in the Climatic Health Resort
Hahnenklee-Bockswiese is located at an altitude of around 560 meters in the western Harz Mountains and is recognized as a climatic health resort. With the world-famous stave church, the Bocksbergbahn cable car, and extensive tourism offerings, the village forms its own focal point within the municipality of Goslar. The Hahnenkleer Advent utilizes the central Rathausstraße, creating a clearly structured market scene between hotels, restaurants, and guesthouses.
Market, Music, and Arts and Crafts
Market stalls offer regional arts and crafts, Advent decorations, incense, honey, baked goods, mulled wine, and warm food. A small stage hosts choirs, brass ensembles, soloists, and small performances by local clubs throughout the weekend. This creates a distinctly family-friendly atmosphere, characterized by many regular visitors from Hahnenklee and the surrounding region.
Laser Show at 8:45 PM
The special program highlight is the laser show at 8:45 PM, projected into the night sky of Hahnenklee. Accompanied by music and light projections, images are created that are particularly effective in the clear mountain air. The show is tailored for families and has been a regular feature in previous years.
Combination Possibilities
The Advent market is located in close proximity to the Bocksbergbahn cable car, allowing for a day trip that combines a ride up the mountain with a visit to the market. Hahnenklee's stave church, an architectural marvel that attracts thousands of visitors annually, is also just a few minutes' walk away.
