Access and crowds
- Getting around
- The stalls sit in old wine cellars below ground, so expect stairs. The organizer's cellar pages say nothing about access.
Traben-Trarbach moves its market underground into the town's former wine cellars. Six venues take part, from the vaults under the Hotel Moselschlösschen to the Weingut Axel Emert and the Villa Nollen, with craft stalls and wine stands among the barrels. It runs only on weekends, so build it into a Friday or Saturday.
Worth knowing
- Pair it with the Bernkastel-Kues market upriver, which runs every day until 20 December.
