Very nice extraordinary Christmas market. Barns and workshops are cleared out. Kindergartens and churches sell cakes. The whole village joins in.

In the middle of the village, next to the church, is the house where the "Seer of Prevorst" was born (today the Ochsen Inn). On September 23, 1801 Friederike was born here as the daughter of the district forester Wanner and his wife. A visit to the historic inn is well worth it!
