Another day, another Christmas market. We are in the middle of the worldmappin winterchallenge and see so many light installations, markets, and winter vibes around the world here in curation.
So on Sunday, I decided to go out again and enjoy a little bit of the German Christmas market traditions in Olching, a small village close to Munich not far from here.
The Olching Christmas market takes place on all four Advent weekends on Nöscherplatz. It is always on Friday from 5 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.
I met a few friends of mine for lunch and then we walked to the Christmas market all together around 4 pm. It was freakin cold but the sun was shining and the light was great when we entered the market.
Otro día, otro mercadillo navideño. Estamos en medio del winterchallenge de worldmappin y vemos tantas instalaciones de luz, mercados y cosas invernales en todo el mundo aquí.
Así que el domingo decidí salir de nuevo y disfrutar un poco de las tradiciones del mercado navideño alemán en Olching, un pequeño pueblo cerca de Munich, no muy lejos de aquí.
Los cuatro fines de semana de Adviento se celebra en Nöscherplatz el mercado navideño de Olching. Siempre es el viernes de 17 a 20 horas. a 20.30 h. y los sábados y domingos de 14 horas a 20.30 h.
Quedé con algunos amigos para almorzar y luego caminamos todos juntos al mercado navideño alrededor de las 4 pm. Hacía muchísimo frío, pero el sol brillaba y la luz era excelente cuando entramos al mercado.
As we just had already eaten the food was not that interesting for us, but the classic in Olching is the Feuerzangenbowle. The Feuerzangenbowle is a punch based on red wine. Despite the name, the drink is not a punch (to be drunk cold). After adding various spices and possibly fruit juices, “fire tongs” are placed on the punch vessel and a cone-shaped piece of sugar soaked in rum is lit, which drips into the liquid while burning.
Como ya habíamos comido, la comida no nos pareció muy interesante, pero el clásico en Olching es el Feuerzangenbowle. El Feuerzangenbowle es un ponche a base de vino tinto. A pesar del nombre, la bebida no es un ponche (para beber frío). Después de añadir diversas especias y, posiblemente, zumos de frutas, se colocan “pinzas de fuego” en el recipiente del ponche y se enciende un trozo de azúcar en forma de cono empapado en ron, que gotea en el líquido mientras se quema.
We drank our first one to warm up and talked about life. My grandma had just passed on Friday, so we talked about her. Also, New Year's travel is coming up, and we shared ideas. This time of the year is always great for reflecting on the year and dreaming about the future 😊
The sun went down and it started to get colder and darker. The cold was not that nice but the lighting got more beautiful now. Once we had drunken the first round my friend went for more and I walked around the market to take some pictures for you guys 😉
Bebimos el primero para calentarnos y hablamos de la vida. Mi abuela acababa de fallecer el viernes, así que hablamos de ella. Además, se acercan los viajes de Año Nuevo y compartimos ideas. Esta época del año siempre es genial para reflexionar sobre el año y soñar con el futuro 😊
El sol se puso y empezó a hacer más frío y más oscuro. El frío no era tan agradable pero la iluminación se volvió más hermosa ahora. Una vez que terminamos de beber la primera ronda, mi amiga fue por más y caminé por el mercado para tomar algunas fotos para ustedes 😉
At every Christmas market in Germany, you will find handcraft, drinks, and food as well as homemade Christmas treats, and a great music program.
For food and drinks you can find Crepes, Raiberdatschi, Churros (@avdesing yes, we also have churros in Germany 😉), sweets, tarte flambée, Raclette, hot chestnuts, punch, Feuerzangenbowle, mulled wine, and hot chocolate.
En cada mercado navideño en alemania encontrarán artesanía, bebidas y comida, así como delicias navideñas caseras, y un excelente programa musical.
Para comida y bebida puedes encontrar Crepes, Raiberdatschi, Churros (@avdesing sí, también tenemos churros en Alemania 😉), dulces, tarta flambeada, Raclette, castañas picantes, ponche, Feuerzangenbowle, vino caliente y chocolate caliente.
Of course, people love to go shopping in those markets as well. It's nice to walk and look around. Find some Christmas gifts even or just some decorations. For me, it's nice to watch the people with happy faces in their stands or outside. All the sparkles and lights are super nice!
Por supuesto, a la gente también le encanta ir de compras a esos mercados. Es agradable caminar y mirar a su alrededor. Encuentra incluso algunos regalos de Navidad o simplemente algunas decoraciones. Para mí es agradable ver a la gente con caras felices en sus gradas o afuera. ¡Todos los destellos y luces son súper bonitos!
In Olching in addition to a diverse music program on stage, a glassblower (2nd weekend in Advent) and a chainsaw artist (4th weekend in Advent) are always presenting their craft in our open hut. It is a very nice place to escape everyday life and hang out with some friends. We had some more drinks and then headed home to not freeze to death 😄
En Olching, además de un variado programa musical en el escenario, en nuestra cabaña abierta siempre presentan su oficio un soplador de vidrio (segundo fin de semana de Adviento) y un motosierro (cuarto fin de semana de Adviento). Es un lugar muy agradable para escapar de la vida cotidiana y pasar el rato con algunos amigos. Tomamos unas copas más y luego nos dirigimos a casa para no morir congelados 😄
Next weekend traditionally, the AmperPerchten come to Olching again.
With torches and immersed in fog, they will march in with their scary wooden masks. What at first glance doesn't fit into the Christmas flair of the Olching Christmas market is only supposed to bring good and happiness. - I will see if we can make it there as well. 🤓
El próximo fin de semana, como es tradición, los AmperPerchten volverán a Olching. Con antorchas y sumergidos en la niebla, entrarán con sus aterradoras máscaras de madera. Lo que a primera vista no encaja en el ambiente navideño del mercado navideño de Olching sólo debe traer bien y felicidad. - Veré si podemos llegar allí también. 🤓
I wish you guys a nice rest of the week - Enjoy the winter challenge and all the posts that come with it!
Les deseo a todos un buen resto de la semana. ¡Disfruten del winterchallenge y de todas las publicaciones que lo acompañan!
Cheers & Un abrazo,
Liz

Yes, tremendous tradition. People get scared when they first see them, but they are actually here to bring joy 😅
Christmas is not a season or a date, it is a feeling. And nothing represents this in Germany like the Christmas market.
