Every year in Kaufbeuren, a living nativity scene is presented. First, a short walk through the woods leads to the nativity scene. There, Christmas carols are played, and the story of Jesus' birth is recited. It's especially beautiful in the dark with torches, which can be purchased at the start of the path.
