Again, you can judge whether German or Czech ones are better. Anyway, on frosty days, such punch or mulled wine warms the body and soul. You can find them in more variations at the markets, everyone has their own recipe.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As mentioned above, there are also various types of German <strong>gingerbread<\/strong>, which are an indispensable part of Christmas markets thanks to their rich spices and specific taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nuremberg bratwursts<\/strong>: these world-famous little sausages are grilled and served with sauerkraut, potato salad or as &#8216;two or three in a roll&#8217; (known as &#8216;Weggla&#8217;). These small sausages, grilled on an open fire made of beech wood, are an irresistible delicacy. During Advent, bratwursts are prepared at the famous Nuremberg Christmas Market, where their aroma attracts visitors to the stalls.  <strong>Legend has it that their small size allowed the innkeepers to sell them through keyholes during closing time.<\/strong>  The reality, however, lies in the economics 16. century, when Nuremberg butchers reduced the size of their sausages to maintain their high quality at the same price. These sausages are protected by the European Union as a protected geographical indication, which guarantees that all &#8216;N\u00fcrnberger Rostbratwurst&#8217; are produced in Nuremberg according to a precise recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feuerzangenbowle<\/strong>: This drink, a mixture of red wine and rum, is an essential part of winter celebrations. The name comes from the tongs holding a burning, rum-soaked sugar cone over the mixing bowl. The sugar dissolves, caramelizes and drips into the wine, giving Feuerzangenbowle its specific taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/norimberske-klobasy--700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Nuremberg bratwursts\" class=\"wp-image-77667\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/norimberske-klobasy--700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/norimberske-klobasy--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/norimberske-klobasy--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/norimberske-klobasy--696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/norimberske-klobasy-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The legendary Nuremberg bratwursts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Programme_for_children_and_adults_at_the_Christmas_markets_in_Nuremberg\"><\/span>Programme for children and adults at the Christmas markets in Nuremberg<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>The Christmas markets in Nuremberg offer a varied programme for both children and adults.
