What makes a true delicacy?

Braunfels Herb Market invites you to enjoy exploration on May 17, 2026
Is it the memory of the scent that wafted through the house as grandmother cooked her jam?
The knowledge that this bread was indeed baked in a wood-fired oven – even if it is now artfully presented in baskets?
Or perhaps the realization that behind every product, there is a story, a passion, and craftsmanship?
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the springtime spa park in Braunfels will transform into a place where these questions are not only asked but also deliciously answered.

The popular Braunfels Herb Market will open its doors from 10 AM to 6 PM – and with it, a world full of delicacies in the truest sense of the word.
Numerous exhibitors will present their treasures related to herbs, perennials, vegetable plants, potted plants, and medieval crops.

But here you will find much more than just plants: exquisite oils, handcrafted soaps, honey products, spices, and decorative items for indoors and outdoors will transform the market into a treasure chamber of the extraordinary.

You will search in vain for mass-produced goods – instead, visitors can expect handcrafted originals straight from the artisans' workshop.

Enjoyment with all senses
Can delicacies also be meant for the eyes? A stroll through the garden accessories proves it.
And what about the knowledge of experienced herb experts who generously share their extensive know-how about cultivation and processing – isn’t this also a kind of delicacy that you can take home?

The culinary highlights of the market leave no doubt: homemade jams, artisanal cheeses, hams, and sausages, as well as fragrant bread from the wood-fired oven invite you to taste and enjoy. Local exhibitors ensure that with well-known treats and unusual specialties, you will want to linger all day in the beautiful ambiance of the spa park.

More than just a market
For those who wish, advice on garden design is available, or you can watch old crafts at work. And perhaps here lies the answer to the initially posed question: A true delicacy is that which is created with dedication, passed on with knowledge, and enjoyed with joy – whether it is a fragrant rose for the garden or a piece of spicy cheese for the Sunday table.

Entrance to the herb market is free.

As part of the Sunday open shopping event, the adjacent shops also invite you to browse from 12 PM to 6 PM.
