Every year during Advent, the entire village of Ellhofen in the Allgäu region becomes a large Advent calendar, welcoming visitors from near and far.
Just like a real Advent calendar, another "little door" is opened every day in the Ellhofen Advent calendar. However, these little doors are spread all over the village - and the respective residents of the participating windows give free rein to their creativity as to what they imagine and present on the Christmas theme.
During the period between 1 December and 6 January, visitors can wander through the wintry village on the basis of the tour suggestion shown here and, while doing so, examine the lovingly decorated Advent windows.
The route presented here with its itinerary represents the "best possible" itinerary when all 24 Advent windows are open. If not all windows are open yet (i.e. before 24.12.), it is best to put together the appropriate/desired route yourself on site.
Author’s recommendation
A trip to Ellhofen between the years is particularly worthwhile - for one thing, there is a certain Christmas calm then, and for another, of course, all of the 24 Advent windows can be admired from 24 December onwards. The Advent windows are lit daily between 5 pm and 10 pm.
