Saarburg Christmas Market

Between the festively illuminated Buttermarkt and the waterfall, the Saarburg Old Town invites you to a unique, colorfully illuminated Christmas atmosphere on the 2nd and 3rd Advent weekends.
Market stalls with regional mulled wine, culinary delights, handicrafts, and local products are arranged around the glowing Christmas tree above the Leukbach.
