Torgau's Majestic Christmas Tree Arrives Ahead of Market Debut
Good news for Christmas enthusiasts in the Torgau region! The much-anticipated Christmas tree has arrived, marking the beginning of the festive season.
Thursday morning saw the delivery of the towering Douglas fir tree, which stands at a staggering 17 meters tall, having lost a bit more than three meters during the transportation process. The tree, which weighs approximately five tons, was destined to be felled due to its size and location on the property.
In a delightful twist, this year's Christmas tree hails from Torgau itself. Once installed and adorned, it is expected to shine brightly with approximately 3,000 LED lights and 300 red and gold balls. The installation of lights on the tree will take place on Friday.
The Christmas market in Torgau is set to commence on November 28, following the standard practice for Christmas markets in Germany. These markets usually run from late November until just before Christmas or sometimes until Christmas Eve, creating a magical atmosphere in towns and cities across the country.
