Christmas Market in Einsiedeln

On December 1st we had a trip with the children from my work to visit the Christmas market in Einsiedeln. It was very misty in and around Lake Zurich but as soon as we got higher all we could see was lovely blue skies and the sun! Once we arrived we made our way towards the Christmas market, the people were all quite friendly and either waved to us or said hello.
It was quite impressive seeing all the huts from this view point, first of all we took the children in the Abbey. We warned them all that it was important to be quiet and they all behaved very well. Then we wandered in and out of the stalls looking at all the goodies on offer.




Right next to the market is a playground and it is there we had our lunch and the children got to run around and play.
We then went to explore around the abbey and we got to see a horse getting a hoof on, which was quite exciting for the children to see. Also we got to see two pigs which was also lots of fun.

The next lot of photos are from walking back down to the station, we all had a nice day out!

  1. Some good photos, but the place looks pretty quiet and very cold.

  2. It was quiet as it had just opened, but it was not very cold, it was still when we had the nice weather!
