Wochenmarkt This Weekend

Do not worry, you can still find local markets providing fresh fruit and veg this weekend.

"Drive-In Market" in Elsen (13 mins - Route Map) Friday 7am - 1pm

It's not big, but you can park your car for a short while directly behind the market stalls. "Shop and wech", as the Paderborner says.

The ideal market for everyone who doesn't want to do without products from the market but doesn't have that much time to shop.

The weekly market takes place every Friday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking area at the Von-Ketteler-Straße sports field.

New on the market you will find Strauss-Hof with a selection of mushrooms from their own production, butcher Müller and the Almetaler Ölmühle with cold-pressed oils.
