After missing the St Wendel Christmas Market in the winter due to a tragic mishap of gas, I desperately wanted to check out this cute towns Easter market when I heard about it!
We found the Easter market and a parking garage and headed out to explore. The smell of food in the air instantly made you excited! We walked past a few stands of cute Easter items and quickly found those amazing smells. The food stand nearby was grilling several different types of sausages and that easily became our first stop. I asked the woman "Was empfehlen Sie?" And she without hesitation said "Käsewurst!".
I said awesome! I took the Käsewurst and went on my way strolling through the market with my friend Adryia. We both bit into our juicy sausage that had bits of cheese embedded in it! It was piping hot and fresh and the flavors were amazing! I was instantly satisfied from stop #1!
But of course we moved on.
There were awesome items for sale. So many unique things that you just can't decide on anything! There was wood carvings of things for a backyard like owls and other items but the Harley was the coolest and made me think of my dad!
The chocolate lady had amazing Easter chocolates and very large bunnies and other objects all made of chocolate. I couldn't resist the options and bought some small bags for later!
Adryia & I got distracted by an egg liquor stand that had some interesting beverages on the menu. The eierlikör was kind of similar to an eggnog but extremely intense like the strongest spiked eggnog you've ever had! It was a bit too strong for us but we threw it back and snacked on our cute mini cone cups.
The things you can buy there range immensely but there are amazing hand painted eggs, egg candles, Easter signs, and other items for decoration not Easter related. We saw a really neat wine rack that caught my eye made of real wood.
Among our wandering we came across a little tent that had a crowd of people so we followed. Inside was an exhibit with small diagrams of bunnies and other neat scenes that it looks like people submitted. It was really cool to see the creativity and competition among the locals. On the way out people were dropping coins in a basket so we did the same. I'm sure the funds to back into creating the mini museum or to the contributors.
We stopped for a beer and potato pancakes. More food.... of course! I really wanted flammkuchen but I just couldn't fit it in my belly! We didn't buy much in regards to household items and decoration but I saw a lot of really cool things that I would like to get for gifts for others. Overall the food and environment at Sainkt Wendel was the experience. It was lively and happy. Visitors had their dogs, and families in tow. It was a very welcome market and I would definitely go back!
