Kaiserslautern Outdoor Recreation and Baumholder Outdoor Recreation have teamed up to make it even easier for you to cross items off your European Travel Bucket List. The same adventures begin at your choice of either Smith or Pulaski Barracks.

The Cochem Christmas Market is a charming and festive event held annually in the picturesque town of Cochem, located along the Moselle River in Germany. Typically taking place from late November through December, the market attracts both locals and visitors who come to enjoy the holiday spirit amidst the beautiful backdrop of Cochem’s historical architecture and the famous Reichsburg Cochem castle.

The market features a variety of wooden stalls selling handmade crafts, seasonal decorations, and traditional holiday gifts. Visitors can indulge in delicious seasonal treats such as roasted chestnuts, gingerbread, and mulled wine (Glühwein), which create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

In addition to shopping and dining, the market often includes entertainment such as live music, carol singing, and sometimes visits from Santa Claus, adding to the festive ambiance. The scenic setting, combined with the twinkling lights and decorations, creates a memorable experience for families and friends.

Whether you start your travel in Kaiserslautern or Baumholder, you will enjoy your visit to the historic Cochem Castle Christmas Market when your adventure begins at Army Outdoor Recreation!
