Christmas is supposed to be on the 24th again. Until then, we rush towards the ultimate tip of the season, have to finish everything at work, buy everything for home, and freeze it as if the world would end the day after the gift-giving. Stop! Relax, have fun, say wine once. Best of all, mulled wine. And let the Advent stress be a joke. Dresden author Peter Ufer and guitarist Frank Fröhlich offer a cheerful Christmas prelude. Ufer tells funny stories from Pflaumentoffel to Striezel, meets Christmas lice and Nikomann, and crosses the Dresden Sway Arch with you until the nutcracker sways around the Christmas tree. Fröhlich arranged twelve of the most beautiful Christmas songs for the guitar. Merry Christmas we wish already in Advent! Our castle elves in the Café Kerzenschein ensure culinary delights. Try Schandauer stollen, Pulsnitzer gingerbread, delicious organic mulled wine, and punch made from our own apples. Immerse yourself in a relaxed pre-Christmas atmosphere that naturally settles within the historic walls.
