A Christmas market in the Black Forest attracts international attention

One of the hottest Christmas markets is the market in the Ravenna Gorge, which is not only idyllically located in the Black Forest, but also impresses with its impressive scenery. The opening of this market was a truly magical moment as the first snowflakes fell, perfecting the romantic ambience. Demand is so great that tickets were sold out two weeks in advance and are sometimes sold on the black market for three times the price. Visitors from all over the world, including Colombia, travel specifically to experience the unique atmosphere of the Ravenna Gorge.

Due to the enormous crowds, the organizers have limited the number of tickets, but this also leads to tensions between local and international guests. The managing director of Hochschwarzwald-Tourismus emphasizes that they want to give the locals a special gift to avoid conflicts. While many search for the perfect photo and even climb risky locations to capture the illuminated scenery, visitors are also encouraged to take advantage of the many festive offerings at the market itself.
