Heissa Holzmarkt.
Da unsere Nerven in diesen Tagen aufgrund der… – nennen wir es einfach Umstände – ziemlich blank liegen, gibt es nur eine Sache, die uns einigermaßen bei Verstand hält: die Aussicht auf Weihnachten. Es ist wie dieses eine warme, gemütliche Licht am Ende des Tunnels, das das zweite Jahr in einer verdammten Pandemie ist.
Während viele Märkte im letzten Jahr tatsächlich nicht stattfanden, machen es die Impfungen und die aktuellen Vorschriften möglich, dass sie dieses Jahr wieder stattfinden. Wir sind froh darüber, denn Weihnachts- und Wintermärkte machen einen großen Teil des Zaubers der Weihnachtszeit aus. Und es gibt keine bessere Ausrede, um Glühwein zu tanken, als einen Besuch auf einem Weihnachtsmarkt.
Natürlich wären wir nicht iHeartBerlin, wenn wir euch zu den normalen Märkten an den üblichen Orten schicken würden – ihr wisst ja, wo ihr sie findet. Wir haben uns für die einzigartigen und besonderen Märkte entschieden, die oft auch etwas Besonderes zu bieten haben. Hier kommt unser Weihnachtsmarktführer für 2021. (Wohlgemerkt, sie nennen sich heutzutage alle “Wintermärkte”, warum auch immer das so sein mag…)
KINK & frank Winter Market
The fabulous KINK Restaurant & Bar and frank Café have teamed up to transform the beautiful terrace of Pfefferberg into your new winter oasis. Find a spot by the crackling fire and enjoy a fresh-baked treat alongside a cup of good cheer. The KINK keeps spirits high with mulled wine, hot Aperol, and a jolly N/A punch. While frank Cafe’s expert pâtissière satisfies your sweet tooth with spicy-orange and chocolate gingerbread varieties. Of course, there’ll also be some hearty, savory dishes as well as beer and crémant for those who prefer. Local artisans join in with unique, delightful gifts. From hand-designed yoga mats and luxurious self-care products to dried flower arrangements and eco-friendly clothing — you’ll find truly special gifts for friends and family!
November 25 – December 23, daily 15:00 – 22:00h, shopping Fri-Sun & Dec 23.
