Mountain Christmas on the Schaumberg: A weekend festival full of pleasure and music

This coming weekend, more precisely on November 30th and December 1, 2024, a festive event will take place on the Schaumberg in Tholey, which is known as the "highest advent market in the Saarland". The market that bears the name "Berg-Weihnacht" promises a colorful mix of culinary and creative offers. Over 20 exhibitors present their goods in lovingly designed wooden stands and in the new event hall "Kleine Mistel". The opening times are on Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The festival will be opened on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. by the Mayor Andreas Maldener (CDU). On both days, the brass formation "Schaumberg Brass" will provide musically for a festive atmosphere. In addition, the band "3 Times A Lady" on Saturday will provide entertainment. Santa Claus does not miss the opportunity to be on site on both days. It will surprise the children with small gifts on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and on Sunday at 5 p.m.

arrival and shuttlebus service

If you want to visit the market, you will find a practical solution for the journey. A shuttle bus is available to transport guests from several stops. Tholey (Am Weiher), Theley (bus station at the school center), the parking lot "Wellwert" and the area of ​​adventure pool/youth hostel take place by Tholey. This ensures convenient access to the market.

However, visitors should also consider the changed traffic routing. From November 30th to December 1st there will be some restrictions on the Schaumberg. A direct access to the plateau is not possible. On Saturday from 3:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 12.30 p.m., the streets "to the adventure park" and "Am Schaumberg" will be converted into one -way streets. Visitors can only get to the Schaumberg via Theley and the L135. If you leave the area of ​​the plateau or her way, you have to take a detour to Schaumbergstrasse in Theley.

parking facilities on site

For those who want to travel by car, parking spaces in the Herzweg area and at a gravel car park are available that leads to the access of the Schaumberger Hof. It is pointed out that this area can be proven quickly. Further access is blocked if the load is complete. An exception is shuttle buses and rescue vehicles. Special parking spaces below the plateau are available for people with disabilities.

This event promises to become a peaceful weekend for all visitors. Not only the extensive selection of stands will delight the guests, but also the festive atmosphere, which is reinforced by the live music and the Santa Claus visit.
