Located in the heart of Cologne's old town, spread over the Alter Markt and Heumarkt squares, the cosy Heinzels Winter Fairytale focuses on the legend of Cologne's brownies (friendly household spirits called “Heinzelmännchen”). In addition to various themed alleys and presentations by skilled craftsmen from all over Europe, the spectacular ice rink on the Heumarkt is a special highlight of this Christmas market.

By the way: The Heumarkt is open until 5th January 2025!
