Advent time Bad Gleichenberg

Experience the Advent as it used to be: contemplative, traditional, and full of real Styrian customs. In the heart of Bad Gleichenberg, the main square transforms into a charming Christmas world on Advent Sundays – far away from the hustle and bustle.

Between fragrant fir trees, crackling fire pits, and lovingly decorated wooden huts, visitors can expect an Advent market full of special charm. Handmade crafts, culinary specialties from the region, and atmospheric music make the pre-Christmas season an unforgettable experience.

• Traditional Crafts: Wood carvings, candles, knitted goods, and gifts from the region
• Culinary Delights: Cookies, cakes, hot drinks, and delicacies like in grandmother's times
• Musical Program: Choirs, brass groups, and Advent songs create a festive atmosphere
• Atmosphere: Lanterns, candlelight, and the large nativity scene under the mammoth tree create a unique ambiance

A visit to Bad Gleichenberg can be wonderfully combined with a relaxing stay at the Therme der Ruhe or an excursion in the experiential region of Thermal & Volcano Land. This makes the Advent season the perfect combination of contemplation, culinary delights, and moments of wellness.
