At the Ravenna Gorge:
the Christmas market near Hotel Reppert

Festive atmosphere beneath a historic viaduct

Deep in the Höllental valley, tucked between sheer rock faces and snow-dusted fir trees, one of Germany’s most beautiful Christmas markets opens its gates on the four Advent weekends: the Ravenna Gorge Christmas Market. Arching above the wooden stalls is the great Ravenna Viaduct – a historic railway bridge, lit up like a stage set from another century.
