Medieval Weihnachts Markt in Dresden

Friday night before we left to Magdeburg we met the Austins at the Medieval Markt. It gets dark at 4:30 and it was very cold. It was set up in the castle courtyard where the sports and jousting took place. They had no artificial lights and they were all dressed for the times.


This was a jewelry hut.



There was all kinds of armour displayed in this hut.


I believe this is a pig.


This man had a lot of carved musical intruments. Here he is demonstrating the nose flute. He made good music with his various and odd little instruments.
