Markets

Traditional, full of variety and typically Bavarian

Weekly markets and farmers’ markets enjoy a long tradition in the county of Erding. Here farmers and producers from the region sell fresh fruit and vegetables as well as flowers from their own fields. If you would like to experience this lively atmosphere then we suggest you visit the Green Market or one of the farmers’ markets in the region.

Also an integral part of the Bavarian tradition are the street markets in our towns and villages. Here on certain Sundays throughout the year a colourful mixture of goods – from clothing to kitchen gadgets, from carpets to spices - are sold along with a delicious selection of snacks . It often happens that the shops in the towns and out in the commercial parks are open on the Sundays when there is a street market.

The weeks before Christmas are also special in the Erding tourist region. With its fragrance of hot mulled wine, special Christmas biscuits, hot bratwursts and a whole lot more the charm of the Christmas markets casts a spell on the place. Every year a meeting point for the whole family are the Ardeo Ice Days in the centre of Erding. Surrounded by the historic backdrop of Erding and with a well-chosen music programme the 450 m² ice rink invites all the people of Erding and guests from the region to come and get their skates on.
