Christmas Magic at the Trusetal Waterfall

When the area around the Trusetal Waterfall transforms into a sparkling winter wonderland for the fourth time on the first Advent weekend, November 29 and 30, one thing is certain: the Christmas magic will once again delight and surprise thousands of visitors this year. What began as a charming event for the region has developed into a true visitor magnet in recent years, attracting guests from all over Thuringia, Hesse, Bavaria, and beyond. The unique combination of natural scenery, festive atmosphere, and lovingly designed attractions captivates young and old alike. The program starts at 2:00 PM on both days and concludes on Sunday evening with a spectacular new light show around 7:00 PM. The impressive backdrop of the waterfall will be bathed in a sea of a thousand lights. Swedish fires, glowing figures, the beloved mascot Snowman Ole, and a living nativity scene create a fairy-tale setting for wonder and relaxation. The Christmas market offers everything the heart desires during the pre-Christmas season: handcrafted gift ideas, regional specialties, and festive treats invite visitors to stroll and enjoy. Mulled wine, sweet delicacies, and hearty snacks ensure culinary delights. Whether it's pony rides, a bird of prey show, alpaca hikes, illuminated walking acts, live chainsaw carvings, or atmospheric live music – the colorful supporting program promises unforgettable experiences for young and old. Of course, a visit from Santa Claus is also a must. Parking is available in close proximity to the festival grounds. For those who prefer a particularly romantic experience, horse-drawn carriages can take you directly from the town hall square in Trusetal to the waterfall. The organizer, the Tourism and Service GmbH Brotterode-Trusetal, looks forward to welcoming guests from near and far to an extraordinary Christmas event. Let yourself be enchanted by the festive atmosphere and experience an Advent weekend full of magic and emotions at the Trusetal Waterfall!
