Thüringer Käsemarkt – Hohenfelden, Germany
Cheesemarkets as cheeses themselves come in all sizes.
This one is a tiny one, but if you are in the area I am positive that it´s worth the stop!
13th Deutscher Kaesemarkt – Nieheim, Germany
13th Deutscher Kaesemarkt, Nieheim – Germanys longest cheese counter.
Every other year the almost 800 year old town of Nieheim organizes the “Deutscher Kaesemarkt”, where about 60 producers from all over Germany as well as mongers from Austria, Italy and France will present their treasures to a curious crowd.
This year the town expects as many as 60.000! visitors who will stroll through the little streets of Nieheim in North Rhine-Westphalia with a cheesy smile on their faces.
And since cheese is always a lover of wine, different german winemakers will serve perfect matches and offer their Rieslings and other delicious german wines.
Nieheim, by the way, is home to the “german museum of cheese” which, when in town, you should definitely stop by.

Mercato di Stegona, Brunica, Italy
Mercato di Stegona, Brunica, Italy
Ok, to be honest – this *Mercato di Stegona* is not entirely built around cheese, but when we read about it we thought we do have to share its existence with you.
*Mercato di Stegona* is the biggest market of the year in South Tyrol and has a stone-old tradition.
In former times people from all over the area came to buy what they would need to get through the upcoming fierce winter and even today you can find almost everything. More than 300 vendors offer all kinds of goods from tractors to cows and from cheeses to speck and everything else you can imagine to need at some point.
We have never been there but *Mercato di Stegona* sounds more than worth the visit.
