With so much mulled wine, cookies and other Christmas treats, it's not so easy not to get lazy in December. 🍪 But getting away from the mulled wine stand or the sofa is of course also worthwhile in December in the Ruhr region! Because there is a lot to experience here. Indoor activities such as a visit to the theater or a leisurely stroll through the design markets are very popular. But sporting winter activities such as ice skating or even biathlon are also great fun - the latter perhaps more as a spectator.

Anyway, it's the "most wonderful time of the year" - at least if you attend the right events!
