The Remscheid Christmas Market in Lennep enchants with traditional coziness and culinary diversity.
The picturesque town hall square provides the perfect backdrop for this atmospheric market. Around a dozen wooden huts, lovingly erected by the local "Lennep Offensiv" association, are scattered throughout the old town, lending it a very special charm. The huts have been rented out by members of various local organizations, associations, and merchants, who offer their delicious delicacies amidst the Christmas atmosphere and in the shadow of the illuminated church steeple.
Traditional participants like the Frisch Auf Lennep sports club are of course on board again, treating visitors to their legendary, homemade egg punch according to Grandma's secret recipe. The cyclists from RV Adler Lüttringhausen also have their classics like flaming punch, winter apple juice, or hearty potato noodles with sauerkraut and bacon on offer.
The Förderverein (patron association) of the SG Hackenberg football club is sure to delight with their diverse sausage creations, as well as their popular "Hackenkuss" - a delicious in-house specialty made from egg liqueur, rum, cream, and chocolate sprinkles. For fans of vintage cars and old-Bergisch culture, the stand of the "Kult Timer Bergisch Land" association is an absolute must. This is where you can find the unique specialty "Lenneper Taubenschiss" - a less than appetizing, yet all the more tasty creation of schnapps, smoked sausage, and mustard.
Even the little guests have been catered for: The "most delicious orange punch" promises refreshment for young and old, with the option of a splash of orange liqueur for the grown-ups.
A touch of Mediterranean flair is provided by the outdoor branch of the old town restaurant "La Paella". Here, visitors can indulge in Delgado's popular fish sandwiches with aioli, or alternatively with meat. In addition, the Spaniard offers dates wrapped in bacon, aioli with bread, or hot sangria.
Whether hearty traditional dish, sweet culinary delight, or warming beverages - the Remscheid Christmas Market in Lennep has something to offer for every taste. An extended walk before and after the visit is highly recommended to indulge guilt-free in the abundant offerings.
