C is for Christkindlmarkt & D is for Dult

I combine two of Jenny's Alphabe-Thursdays in this post, starting with a stroll over one of Munich's Christkindlmärkte (Christmas markets). The booth below is named Angel Charm (Engerl Zauber), selling lots of sweet angels.

 

Talking of sweet stuff, here you can get just that. The fragrance is heavenly!

A bit further down the road (it's the pedestrian zone in Munich's city center), you get a lot of varities of Glühwein (mulled wine).

This booth reminds me of the witch's Lebkuchenhaus (gingerbread house) in the fairy tale Hänsel und Gretel.

Now we have arrived at Marienplatz (Mary's Square), the very center of Munich. In the background you see the tall and beautiful Christmas tree in front of the New Town Hall.

Delicate lace ornaments.

Lots of beautiful Christmas ornaments to discover.

There is so much too see -- it's nearly a visual overload.

I happened to be at the square at 11 am -- the right time to see and listen to the carillon playing in the town hall tower.

Now on to the letter D -- it's Dult once again. Here you find other Dult photos in case you are interested to see more of Munich's open air market which takes place three times a year. I took the photos below in October during the last market of the year.

One part of the fairground is reserved for fun rides and games.

I really like these colorful balloons.

The bumper car ride was popular that day.
