Where to stay
Centre
Most logical for several central activities and a late walk back; accept the highest crowd pressure.
Cauberg
Choose only if activities or wellness there are the main anchor and the climb suits you.
Village zone
Choose for quiet, but check the last train and post-evening return live.
04
Planning a later season
These dates cover the Christmas season ending on 3 January 2027. For a later visit, check the new dates and attraction calendars with the official organiser and operators.
