Advent Market in Front of the New Palace
The Küpser Marktweihnacht is the Christmas market of the market town of Küps in the district of Kronach (Upper Franconia). It takes place annually on the second Sunday of Advent on the square "Am Plan" in front of the New Palace.
Crafts, Mulled Wine, and Fragrances
Lovingly decorated stalls offer Christmas decorations, artisanal crafts, homemade Christmas treats, as well as hot mulled wine and cocoa. The scents of winter specialties and festive lighting create a romantic atmosphere against the palace backdrop.
