Flea Markets

The towns flea markets are back after lockdown and after all of that time at home, I am sure folks have been tidying and sorting out their cupboards and kellers. Maybe there a bargain for you at your ‘local’ or ‘quatier’ flea market. Here is the website to find information about the time and date of all of the ‘local’ flea markets.

There are regular Kinder, Nacht and Hallen Flohmarkt at Markthalle that are also worth a look especially when the weather gets wet as Markthalle is dry and warm inside!
