The festival is very famous for its entertaining part that attracts thousands of visitors each year.

It goes from small traditional wine stands to large wine halls, basing on what seems more inviting and intriguing.

There’s also the Weindorf with some of the best wine products in Germany and Europe.

The festival focuses on wines, but it’s not all that Wurstmarkt is offering.

Fun for the whole family; You’ll find a combination of wine, literature and lots of more exciting things.

While you’re there, definitely visit the Michaelskapelle (the chapel), right above the market.

Until the 15th-century, pilgrims walked up the hill on St. Michael’s Day, which is considered the origin of the Wurstmarkt festival.
