Christmas magic in the Lake Constance region: SWR visits Hongler candles
The Lake Constance region enchants visitors in the run-up to Christmas with festive markets, old traditions and atmospheric craftsmanship. SWR presenter Annette Krause explored this atmosphere and also visited our manufactory in St. Gallen. She took a look behind the scenes, made a candle herself in our candle barn and received tips on candlelight. We were particularly pleased to be part of this special journey and to share our traditions.
