Germany is a Winter Wonderland and it is beautiful! Everything has a white cover, transforming dark winter sadness into nostalgic postcard motives. The cracking sound of steps on fresh snow remind me of my childhood. It is very romantic! And the best thing to do to top all this? Visit one of many Christkindlmarkets!

With my sister Petra, we spend a few hours at the Christkindlmarket in Ingolstadt to try some culinary highlights: smoked sausages with vinchgauer bread, flammbread, churros with dark chocolate sauce, roasted vanilla almonds and – of course – “Glühwein“ (muled wine) to keep you warm!

When it turns darker in the late afternoon, it gets even more romantic with all the lights bringing a sparkle to the frosty temperatures. It was a very nice afternoon with my favorite sister Petra.
