In Stosswihr, in the valley of Munster, there is no Christmas market, but a Silberwald Christmas trail to discover at nightfall, from 5 pm. Departing from the village hall, you will discover the history and the magic of Christmas. An event that exists since 2010.
The trail takes you for two kilometers in a universe made of illuminations, but also of discoveries : the house of Santa Claus and his elves, an illuminated fountain, nativity scenes are also to be admired along the way.
More than twenty volunteers, three weeks to make the decorations
The inhabitants of the village, but also the volunteers are mobilized to make your eyes widen. The houses and gardens are decorated on the way. “The locals are playing along, and so are the volunteers. It’s a real titanic job, with three weeks of work to put everything in place,” underlines the mayor of Stosswihr, Daniel Thomen.
