Bernkastel-Kues Nov 19-Dec 21
Visitors come every season to see the amazing medieval Christmas Market in Bernkastel-Kues. The narrow little streets with quaint romantic houses make the perfect setting for a Christmas market.
On Saturday the 5th December 2016, a special Christmas Market highlight will take place, over 100 swimmers plunge into the freezing cold waters of the Moselle, each “armed” with a burning torch in their hand to begin their swim from Kues harbour across the Mosel to Bernkastel. They are followed by oarsmen which accompany the bishop of St. Nicolas standing beneath an illuminated wreath, on a large adorned boat.
