We were recommended this town and market by a taxi driver in the Frankfurt area. We were driving…read moreback along this area and decided to stop and check it out. The Odenwald is a mountain range that goes through Hesse, Baden Württemberg and Bavaria. There are many towns dotted along these ranges and it's a beautiful part of the country. This town is also part of the German Fachwerk Straße and is a beautifully old town with a small palace. The market is held on the palace grounds and it meanders around the walkways and gardens of the castle.
There was about 100-120 stalls in all selling gifts and food from the local area. The two things I found here that I loved were Kirschglühwein and Wildschwein Wurst. The sausage made from wild boar was just spicy and amazing. The varieties of mulled wine were also interesting. There was a stall selling Dresdner stollen and many other local delicacies.
It's hard to know there is a market on here as it's enclosed within the city walls and not easy to spot. I would highly recommend a visit to this area for walking and exploring as well. A hidden part of Germany that is not so touristy and beautiful countryside.
