Free summer fun on the market square

A place full of movement, cooling off and summer fun is once again being created in the centre of the market square.
Every day from 7 July to 9 August, the interactive PlayFountain will transform the market square into a meeting place for families, children and visitors of all ages.

The "PlayFountain" will provide lots of fun from 10 am - 7 pm with a varied programme of games. Afterwards, from 7 - 9 pm , a quieter show programme with matching light illuminations will provide entertainment.
