This morning we travel into neighbouring Germany and to the festive market at Bernkastel Kues. The historical half-timbered houses, romantic corners and narrow streets form the most picturesque background for this renowned Christmas Market. The bright glow of the lovingly decorated stands and the special flair of a medieval old town create a magical, dreamy ambience. Many people are infected with it - every year, people are pouring into one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany.
After time at leisure we travel to Trier, Germany’s oldest city. Emperor Augustus founded Trier as a Roman colony in 16 B.C. It then became the favoured residence of several Roman emperors and was even known as ‘Roma Secunda’, the second Rome. The Cathedral of Trier is one of the main sights of the city. It was originally built by Constantine the Great, the first Christian Roman Emperor. It is the oldest church in Germany and houses great works of art as well as the Holy Robe, a garment said to be worn by Jesus when he was crucified. So enjoy free time looking around the historical town before returning the hotel later this evening. Here 95 festively decorated little wooden huts offer a wide range of Christmas articles including decorations, wooden toys, candles, hand-blown glassware, ceramics, crafts and much more. There is also plenty of tasty treats available such as bratwurst sausages, potato pancakes, sweets, hot tea and ‘glühwein’ to starve off the cold.
