Regional diversity with character

Additionally, artistic products made from wood, ceramics, wool, felt, and natural materials will be featured. The market illustrates how closely regional marketing, direct marketing, and lived craftsmanship culture are interconnected in the Black Forest.

Wood Carving Days with vibrant traditional craftsmanship

The Wood Carving Days make old skills visible: spinning, weaving, glassblowing, basket weaving, turning, lace-making, shingle-making, and other rare crafts come to the forefront. Bernau carpenters will demonstrate the processing of logs in front of the Resenhof, while the historical surroundings of the over 230-year-old Black Forest farm create a particularly atmospheric market visit.
