After parking we made our way to where the market was and looked around at a few stands. We then decided to get some lunch since it was after 12. Bill and I each got a käsegriller which is a sausage that has cheese inside of it. It is one of our favorites.
After lunch we walked around to see what each stand had to offer. They had stands selling cheese, baked goods, and food. Stands that were selling Easter and spring decor and then some stands were still selling knit hats and gloves since its still pretty cold here in Germany and we got some snow last week. The one thing I needed to buy was another painted egg because unfortunately the one I bought at the market last year broke. Thankfully I found the stand I bought my egg from last year and was able to buy a new one.
Im sure everyone remembers the infamous Easter Dragon. He was out and about with his friend the Easter Lion. Bill and I both love the markets that are put on in Sankt Wendel thats why we have been to the Easter market twice and we will be returning to the Christmas market in December. Our favorite part and the main reason we keep going back is for the chimney cakes. Chimney cakes are similar to fried dough but they are cooked over coals on a metal rod. They are absolutely delicious. We looked in the area that the chimney cakes had been in last year and they weren't there. We made it our mission to find where they moved them. We had just about gave up after walking the entire market and were about to start heading to the car when I spotted the chimney cake stand. So Bill and I each got a cinnamon and sugar chimney cake. After we ate the cakes we made our way to the car. We spent about an hour and a half at the market and we had a great time. Sankt Wendel will definitely be a place we will miss when we leave Germany.
