Ingolstadt Christmas Market

After enjoying the Munich market, we continue north on the A9 autobahn towards Nuremburg. We are going to stop at the Ingolstadt market and then find somewhere to stay in the area. This market is under the towers and lights of the Schloss, or castle. Before entering the market, I could tell this one was going to be very special.

The stalls are very decorative and all lit up under the eves. It really adds to the ambiance of the market. One stall, a candy shop, is large and full of goodies. It's set up like a store. There are several gluhwein stands, traditional Christmas décor stands, soups & spices stands. There is also a stall with ceramic plates that were handmade and painted in Cannes, France. Very pretty, however, we're just about at our max in what we can take home.

We find a dive about 25 km north of Ingolstadt. We are staying at Gasthof Trompete--a 400 year old establishment.  In the beautiful, wood carved restaurant downstairs, I have a glass of Chianti and attempt to get internet. Connecting from the room is impossible.  I'll try tomorrow morning from the breakfast room downstairs.
