The magic of christmas is alive and well throughout Germany including in Freising, Bavaria.
From the beginning of December the streets and squares are a beautiful scene of elaborated decorated christmas trees which glow through the night and christmas decorations adorn the street posts and buildings.
With a backdrop of historic buildings - formerly a monastery which dates from the 18th century, this winter christmas scene creates a romantic - almost medieval ambiance. The delicate lighting from the christmas tree lights the icy ground and reflects light on its historic surroundings.
