The Tölzer Christkindlmarkt has been canceled.

A substitute offer should at least create a little pre-Christmas mood in the spa town.

  • After the cancellation of the Tölzer Christkindlmarkt, the city presented the replacement program.

  • Four to six gastronomic stands planned in Marktstrasse and Nockherplatz.

  • "Winter village" is being considered at the Kurhaus.

Bad Tölz -

mulled wine, bratwurst, atmospheric ambience, plus a cozy chat: all of this is an integral part of the

pre-Christmas season

for many people

-

but this year it will look significantly different

in

Bad Tölz

than usual. The

Christmas market

was canceled as reported.

The city is now planning a limited alternative offer suitable for corona, as

Mayor Ingo Mehner

explained in a press conference on Thursday.

Corona alternative to Advent: Application for stand operators is ongoing

For example, the city wants to designate

special-use areas

in

Marktstrasse

, on which at least four to six catering

stands

can be set up.

"You can feel that there is

still a lot of demand for

free

bar space

among many people

," said

Mehner

.

That is why the city wants to make it possible to meet during

Advent

to eat

a

bratwurst

outside

or

drink

a

mulled wine

.

Two more such stands are to be

set up

at

Nockherplatz

.

The deputy

spa director Susanne Frey-Allgaier

reported that the

application process

for the selection of the

stand operators was ongoing

.

“We are writing to all

restaurateurs

who have applied for

stands

at the

Christmas market

.” The

stands

would probably be

admitted from November 27th to December 24th,

Mehner

said, but possibly only from Thursday or Friday to Sunday.

At the request of the “Wir für Tölz” business association, two

huts

are also

planned where customers can have their purchased

gifts

wrapped.

For that, it

tends to be too tight

under the

Corona maximum limit

n in the shops.

Corona alternative to Advent: Music and ice stock sport at the Kurhaus

A

“winter village” at the Kurhaus

with a maximum of ten huts with a little trade as well as partial and full catering is also being considered, according to the

mayor

.

There will also be two

ice stock rinks

there, and the existing

pavilion

can be used for musical performances.

According to

Mehner

, the

cancellation of the

Christmas market

was

inevitable because the event area would have had to be separated from the public space.

“It would have been like a cage in the city.” Compliance with the

mask requirement

at the

Christmas market

was “unthinkable”.
