Why go
- The ravenna gorge christmas market is tucked deep in the black forest
- A massive stone viaduct glows above the market, making every angle photogenic
- The train crossing above the market lights at night is surreal and a moment everyone waits for
- Crowds are capped so it feels cozy rather than chaotic
Must try
- Mulled wine
- Black forest specialties
Pro tips
- Take the train to hinterzarten or himmelreich, then catch the official shuttle straight to the market
- Arrive early for your time slot because shuttle lines can stack up
- If you want that perfect train moment, be patient and keep your camera ready
Good to know
- Parking at the gorge is only possible if you prebooked a parking pass with your ticket, don't even try driving otherwise
- Tickets for the market run only on weekends with timed entry slots and sell out insanely fast every year, typically going live in late summer
- It gets colder in the gorge than in nearby towns, so layer up
