2026 Christmas Market | Reichenstein Castle

Dear Guests, we are delighted to welcome you to our Christmas market at Reichenstein Castle! Due to the expected large number of visitors, we have set up a parking guidance system in cooperation with the municipality of Trechtingshausen.

Parking and shuttle service:
Please use the designated parking lot in the town of Trechtingshausen.
From there, a shuttle service is available to take you comfortably to the castle. The shuttle runs regularly on Saturday from 2:00 PM to 8:30 PM and on Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:30 PM and is also available for your return trip. Unfortunately, four-legged family members are not permitted on the historic grounds. We appreciate your understanding.

Parking fee:
The parking fee is 5 EUR per vehicle.

Please understand that private vehicles cannot access the castle grounds, as the castle road must be kept clear as an emergency route. We sincerely thank you for your cooperation and look forward to an unforgettable day with you in the atmospheric setting of Reichenstein Castle.
