I think it is. I've only read positive press reports about it during the last years and the rush of visitors doesn't seem to stop. ... [snipped]
Thanks for the information!Several days ago I saw an interview with Gloria where she spoke about the Christmas market. She told how the castle facade was renovated, the castle got a new roof, etc. As the land and the woods no longer generate enough revenue to upkeep such a castle, they had to think about opening it more to the public and use it for events like the Christmas market. So I take it that the marke must be profitable, or they wouldn't bother with it. The same probably can be said about the music festival they hold in summer.
Christmas markets are enormously popular in Germany, they really attract the crowds. People are usually quite willing to spent good money on food, drink and hand-crafted presents and decorations. So it's no wonder that it pays off to hold it in such a lovely locaction as St. Emmeran castle.
