Cosy market in the schoolyard
The Alte Schule in Bleibuir is a village community centre and a meeting place for local clubs and societies. The Christmas market takes place in its courtyard. According to the town, several decorated wooden stalls are planned. This creates a small-scale market where spending time together is the main focus. If you enjoy small village Christmas markets, you can get into the festive spirit here, away from the large town-centre markets.
