If there is a smell of gingerbread, roasted almonds and mulled wine between Böttcher-Rondell and St.-Jürgen-Kirche, then this can only mean one thing: The Heide winter world is open.

The heart and highlight of the winter world is the 600 m² covered ice rink, which invites skate lovers from near and far to a cheerful slide. The quaint Christmas village with its many lovingly designed stalls and craft stalls is set up around the skating rink. "The offer is something to be proud of" promises Heide Stadtmarketing GmbH. "There are lots of great things to discover and experience again." And to taste of course. After all, as befits a Christmas and winter market, visitors are offered a large selection of sweet and savoury delicacies - from hot fruit punch and cocoa to lard nuts, crepes and caps to mushroom pan, bratwurst, Burgundy ham and fish rolls.

If you like, you can also go on a roundabout or take a ride on the Ferris wheel. Especially in the evening darkness the gondola ride in airy heights is worthwhile. Because the generous Christmas lighting on and around the market place bathes the Heider city centre in a very special atmosphere. The Heider winter world is always worth an excursion - both to get in the mood for the feast of love and as a cosy end to a working day. Just drop by and see for yourself. The market suppliers and the town of Heide look forward to your visit.
