Hof weekly market
Discover Hof culinary
If you want to get to know the people of a region better, you should visit the local market. We recommend this to you as well. Because at the weekly market in Hof, you will not only find fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, meat and sausage, but you will also get to know regional specialties such as "Quärkla", "ausgezonga Pfannakung" and "Kümmelstella" - and you will certainly hear the original Hof dialect here and there at one of the stalls. The focus is on regionality and quality. And it's not just the fresh colors and smells that make up the special flair of the Hof weekly market, but also the "Waafen" (chatting) with acquaintances or the market traders, who usually already know their customers personally after just a few visits and are always happy to advise and entertain them.
The weekly market in Hof on the Maxplatz right next to St. Michael's Church is a weekly attraction for traders and visitors from the region. Every Wednesday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. you can go on a culinary discovery tour on the square surrounded by historic buildings.
Farmers market and theme markets
On the last Saturday of every month, Hof's weekly market is enriched by the farmers' market. Here, direct marketers from the district of Hof offer their homemade delicacies and invite you to taste and enjoy. From eggs fresh from the farm to sausage, cheese and honey to cakes or bread prepared according to traditional family recipes - here you can get to know the culinary diversity of the Hof region. In addition to the regular weekly market, the theme markets are further highlights of the market season. With Easter and asparagus market, game and South Tyrolean market, the Hof market people come up with something special for their visitors several times a year. You should not miss this!
More than "just" a weekly market
Especially on Saturdays, our weekly market offers much more than strolling and shopping. For example, the "Markt-Stübla", run by market enthusiasts on a voluntary basis directly on Maxplatz, is a popular meeting place for Hof market goers during the spring and summer months.There, not only members of the Markt aktiv association, but also city councilors and the Hof service clubs spoil you every Saturday with seasonal homemade delicacies, here you can enjoy a well-deserved "Seidla" beer, homemade dishes or cakes under the open sky and watch the market hustle and bustle in a very relaxed way. So where better to immerse yourself in the Upper Franconia region of pleasure than at the Hof weekly market?
Or, on Saturdays from Pentecost to Thanksgiving, treat yourself to a moment of peace and contemplation during one of the Saturday market devotions in St. Michael's Church.
