Hemsbacher Winterzauber

The Hemsbach Winter Magic at Lake Wiesensee is a modern event concept that extends the contemplative atmosphere of the Advent season well into the new year. While traditional Christmas markets usually end on Christmas Eve, this event in January and February creates a lively meeting place that dispels the winter greyness of the first months of the year. The event site in the car park on the lake shore is transformed into a lovingly designed winter village that captivates visitors with its successful combination of nostalgic fairground flair and modern event catering.

A special feature of Winter Magic is its high-quality visual design. Instead of simple sales booths, magnificently illuminated wooden facades and attractions dominate the scene. A central eye-catcher is often the historic two-storey horse carousel, which, together with other family-friendly rides such as the ‘Reindeer Express’, makes children's eyes light up. The lighting concept with countless fairy lights and the proximity to the lake give the square an almost magical backdrop in the evening hours, attracting visitors from the entire Bergstraße and Odenwald region.

The culinary offerings are far more than just an accessory; they form the social centre of the event. The striking ‘Heidelberger Fass’ in particular serves as a landmark and meeting point that can be seen from afar. Visitors can enjoy a selection of hot drinks here in a convivial atmosphere, ranging from classic mulled wine to modern punch creations. This offering is complemented by a variety of food stalls offering everything from hearty classics to sweet almonds and crêpes – everything you need for a winter outing.

Overall, the Hemsbach Winter Magic is characterised by its relaxed and informal atmosphere. It is less characterised by the hectic search for gifts in the run-up to Christmas and more a place for socialising and enjoying leisure activities in the fresh air. Regular live music and special event days round off the experience, making Winter Magic a fixture in the Hemsbach calendar of events, successfully filling the gap between the holidays and the arrival of spring.
