Shopping

Kunstwerke Friese, Grüner Markt 7 (tel. 09861/7166), specializes in cuckoo clocks and also carries Hümmel figurines, pewter beer steins, music boxes, and dolls. It's Christmas every day at Weihnachtsdorf (Christmas Village), in the market square, which is filled with shops carrying everything from clothing and accessories to cuckoo clocks, but the real attractions are locally made toys and Christmas ornaments. If you collect teddy bears, you'll love Teddyland, Herrengasse 10 (tel. 09861/8904), which stocks more than 5,000 of them, the largest teddy bear population in Germany. Bear images are printed on everything from T-shirts to bags and watches.
