Travelog post for: Pippi

Although there were degrees around -10°C and snow falling the whole day Katrin took me with her to the city center of Leipzig.

Behind the church of St. Nicolei there was a part of the Christmas market. The Christmas market is in nearly every street of the city center and you have always the smell of bratwurst and "Glühwein" (hot spiced wine) in your nose.


We followed the street to the café Riquet (known for the elephant heads at the wall).


The market square in front of the old town hall is the main Christmas market. There is also the huge Christmas tree and even a mailbox from Santa Clause. I heard some people saying, that Santa Clause is sometimes here to give little presents to children, but I missed him today.




On the square near the church St Thomas is a "Märchenwald" (enchanted forest).
I had a closer look at the fairy tales Snow White...


...and The Princess and the Pea.
