From 1/11/2020, the 1st virtual, original Ore Mountains Christmas market opens: Fascinating 360° panoramic views convey Seiffen's Christmas magic
Many things are being rethought and redesigned in 2020 - including the Christmas markets. From 1 November, the Seiffener Drechsler cooperative Dregeno presents the first truly virtual Christmas market, which is more than just an online shop with a Christmas category. The sales proceeds - this is also unique - will directly and fully benefit the regional producers.
Fascinating 360-degree panoramic shots capture the magic of the Seiffen Christmas and are translated into a virtual world using the latest technologies, where you can move around to your heart's content and discover countless details. If you like something, you can get closer, zoom in and click on articles, pictures and videos that tell you more about the production process and the people behind it.
