Chestnuts or potato chips, mulled wine or punch, and lots of Christmas decorations are simply part of the Advent season for me. It has become a tradition to visit at least one Advent market. We have some really great ones in the Marchfeld, but if you want to drive a little further away and discover something new, you can find information here:
