Markets

Every year there are many different markets: street markets, the nature park market and, besides the occasional Sunday shopping, the traditional annual holiday shopping on the third of October (with annually changing theme). And you should not miss the romantic christmas market.

The weekly market

The historical ambience of the Market Square with its half-timbered houses provides a unique setting for sampling, tasting, experiencing and enjoying the fresh, regionally grown produce at the many colourful market stalls. In collaboration with the market tradespeople, the town of Calw has come up with many new ideas intended to make a visit to the weekly market in Calw a real experience. Here the customer always comes first: professional advice is given, there is opportunity for a good chat, there are samples to taste and the quality of the products means that you buy them with a good conscience.

Christmas Market

In and around the historic Calw Market Place with its beautiful half-timbered houses you can enjoy the spirit of the pre-Christmas season in an especially romantic setting. The Calw Christmas Market definitely numbers among the most beautiful: Besides gingerbread stands and a Christmas café located in the foyer of the Hermann Hesse Museum, historic arts and crafts performances bring back to life old customs and tower trumpeters as well as singing angels preach the joyous message. It is a market of the senses also on account of the culinary delights offered at the Calw Christmas Market. A Christmas tour of the town will also lead you up to the beautiful hilltop paths of Calw.
