The most beautiful Christmas markets & winter highlights
"Planet Hibbel" experiences an Advent weekend in the Christmassy Ahr Valley
A glowing break between vineyards, historic half-timbered villages and warm hospitality: travel blogger Nadine Lessenich from Planet Hibbel travelled through the Ahr Valley on the 2nd Advent weekend - and took a close look at the most beautiful Christmas markets from Bad Neuenahr to Rech.
Whether at the romantic Wine Night Market in Marienthal Monastery, the glittering riverside lights in Bad Neuenahr Spa gardens, the lovingly designed Lucia Market in Rech, a torch-lit hike through festively decorated Ahrweiler or a wellness break at the elegant Steigenberger Hotel: in the blog post, you can find out all kinds of tips for a successful short holiday in the Christmassy Ahr Valley.
Highlights from Planet Hibbel's blog post:
- Steigenberger Hotel Bad Neuenahr - refuelling in Art Nouveau style
- The shore lights in Bad Neuenahr Spa gardens - a walk through a winter fairy tale
- Old town of Ahrweiler - half-timbered houses, small shops & regional specialities
- The Wine Night Market at the Marienthal Monastery Winery
- The Lucia market in the wine village of Rech
- The Ahr Valley - reconstruction with heart
Thank you, Nadine, for visiting the Ahr Valley!
