Tradition meets craftsmanship: Pulkau Christmas market starts into Advent

PUlkau, a charming little town, warmly welcomes all Advent lovers to the cozy Christmas market on November 30th and December 1st, which opens its doors from 1 p.m. In a festive atmosphere, visitors can experience the anticipation of Christmas while the smell of fresh pastries and mulled wine fills the air.

As part of this festive event, the dry stone walling school presents special insights into two extraordinary craft techniques that are proudly part of the UNESCO cultural heritage. These traditional skills are not only an important part of the cultural heritage, but also reflect the craftsmanship and history of the region.

A highlight for the whole family

The Pulkau Christmas market offers more than just handicrafts. Families and children can look forward to a diverse program that includes numerous activities. In addition to the popular Santa Claus, who will delight the little visitors, a lantern parade and musical performances are also on the program. This creates a happy and welcoming atmosphere that attracts both locals and guests.

Additional attractions include numerous culinary delights that have something for every palate. From traditional Christmas treats to savory snacks, every taste is catered for. The picturesque backdrop of the city center enhances the pre-Christmas experience.

For anyone interested in craftsmanship, the shingle workshop offers a fascinating opportunity to experience the ancient techniques up close. In small groups, participants can observe the processes and perhaps even lend a hand themselves. These workshops are not only educational, but also a wonderful opportunity to learn more about traditional craftsmanship.

Another notable element is the stone workshop, which will also be featured during the market. Here visitors can learn about the artistic technique of dry stone construction, which is also part of the region's rich heritage. Both workshops are not only a homage to old traditions, but also a clear sign of how important it is to preserve and pass on craftsmanship.
