Winter and Christmas on the Moselle

When frost and snow cover the vineyards, the Moselle valley grows quiet. On the Moselsteig trail you often have the path almost to yourself, and in the evening the lights are reflected in the river. A lovely time for a break: a long weekend in Advent, the days between Christmas and New Year or a peaceful New Year's Eve.

Christmas markets by train

• Trier Christmas market on the main market square and in front of the cathedral, from 20 November to 22 December 2026. There are direct trains from Bullay to Trier. Opening hours from the organiser
• Mosel-Wein-Nachts-Markt in Traben-Trarbach in the historic wine cellars beneath the town, from 20 November 2026 to 2 January 2027, mainly at weekends. The Moselweinbahn railway runs there directly from Bullay. Dates from the organiser (in German)

Outdoors and indoors

The Moselsteig trail starts practically at the front door – in winter with wide views across the valley. After your walk you can warm up in the small sauna in the house (by arrangement, for a fee), and guests of the Sollig holiday apartment have a covered conservatory with an open fireplace in the garden.

Advent calendar from Bullay

From 1 to 24 December, our Advent calendar (in German) opens a door every day with tips, stories and small surprises.
