Great open air biological market with fresh and organic products directly from local farmers. Every Saturday from 8.00-16.00. Also vintage second hand market. Tip: Look for the market stall at the back of the market, where amidst all the hustle and bustle of the Market you can sit down to enjoy a freshly made Dutch Pancake, hmm.
