Lakeside Christmas at Breitenauer See: Advent Atmosphere Right by the Water
On Saturday, December 5, 2026, the shores of Breitenauer See in Obersulm will transform into a festively illuminated Christmas world. The Lakeside Christmas combines regional diversity, artisan crafts, and culinary delights with the special shopping experience of a winter waterfront promenade.
Craftsmanship, Unique Items, and Lovingly Decorated Wooden Huts
Since 2011, the Lakeside Christmas has been part of the Advent calendar in the Heilbronn area. Around 90 festively decorated wooden huts invite visitors to stroll. Guests discover handmade nativity scenes, turned woodworks, natural soaps, door wreaths, incense, felt items, pottery, and many other decorative uniques. Craft demonstrations showcase how wooden objects are created; children can try their hand at candle pulling.
Regional Specialties and Winter Market Delights
Culinary offerings also showcase regional diversity. Direct marketers and vendors serve, among other things, smoked fish, wild boar sausage, potato noodles, meat dumplings, potato pancakes, tart flambee, chimney cakes, and waffles. These pair well with winemaker mulled wine, spiced apple juice, children's punch, hot chocolate, and other winter beverages. For enjoyment at home, there are honey products, smoked meat, liqueurs, syrups, chocolates, pasta, and Christmas baked goods.
Music, Lights, and Family Program
The illuminated waterfront promenade provides a cheerful market atmosphere. Street organ players, alphorn blowers, and other musicians accompany the tour. Families can look forward to children's interactive activities, baking bread on sticks, and the Scouts Olympics from 2 to 5 PM. Saint Nicholas will arrive at the lake from 4 PM. Starting at 5:30 PM, visitors can also enjoy a fire show featuring fire fans, poi, devil sticks, and large flames at the lakeshore.
