Berglangenbach, a village in the Baumholder Union Community, sponsors its 10th farmers and arts and crafts market Sunday.

From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., more than 100 regional farmers and vendors will present their products and merchandise, such as potatoes, vegetables, fruit, wurst, marmalade, mustard, oil, vinegar, cheese, honey, juices, tea, coffee, wine, pasta, schnapps and liquor.

Artists will present their handcrafted items including ceramics, wooden items, artifical flower bouquets and wreaths and baskets. Craftsmen such as smiths, turners, roofers, and basket makers will also demonstrate their skills. Chimney sweepers will be available as traditional lucky charms. A lumberjack will present how to safely work with motor saws. He will also demonstrate his skills of “carving” figures.

The photo club Tele Freisen will be taking photos of visitors in historical costumes.
 The market also includes a vintage tractor show and animal show, which presents farm animals, rabbits, horses, donkeys and birds of prey. Children can ride ponies.
Farmers and vendors offer all kinds of food specialties: fish brötchen, fried potatoes, spring rolls, gyros, steaks, plum cake, waffles and cakes.

Regional music associations will provide the musical entertainment.

To get to Berglangenbach, take A62 north to Freisen, then L133 direction Baumholder, which turns into L384 direction Berschweiler/Fohren-Linden. Turn left twice until getting to L347. A few kilometers after Fohren-Linden, you will see the sign to the farmers market.
