I'm thinking of doing the same this year. Haven't been before and the Aachen one appeals to me as it's not too big a drive. Were you able to park up near the town.
Last year we went to the markets in Trier and Bernkaste-Kues.
The one in Trier is near to the cathedral and was quite large. About a mile and a half from the stellplatz.
In Bernkastel-Kues you can park quite close to the small but pretty market.
We also enjoyed the market at Aachen which is also by the cathedral and also about a mile and a half from the stellplatz. We did see that there was a bus stop near to the site and a number of people were going into the town that way.

It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Come out of the large Aire in Aachen turn right and short walk to bottom of hill. Stand outside the garage at bus stop and catch number 21 bus this drops you right next to the base of the market and you just walk up the hill to the rest of it.
Coming back you stand across the road from where you got off which is a large bus stop with many stopping there, again get on the number 21 and you want the hospital stop.
Our favourite market and the Aire has EHU , try to avoid a Saturday night both Aire and Market are heaving and you don't get to see much.
If you need more info just ask.
Thanks for suggestions so far

Re: German Christmas Market recommendations please
It's quite a large market with several areas scattered in and around the Altstadt including an outdoor ice rink. There's plenty to explore for a weekend, and of course the Stellplatz is by the Altstadt and the Rhine.
Thanks for these, Berlin is just a little far for 4 days and only 1 driver.
Did look at Dussledorf and wondered what it was like, will look into it further so thanks for that.
Cologne, Trier, Aachen, Valkenburg, Monschau - absolute must - in the evening if possible. Cologne usually has some good shop displays of Nativity scennes, and one of the larger stores has a display full of Steiff animals that are all animated - great for adults as well as children.
We went one year and got a leaflet from the tourist info which listed all the local markets. The leaflet gave all the train times and dates, so you could try and find that.
We've never made it to Black Forest - waiting until my tyres wear out and I can buy some winter ones.
We have a tradition - father-in-law has a glass of Gluhwein in every market, I have a sausage of some kind. We were doing at least three markets some days, so he was p*ssed and I got fatter. My wife just spent all the money.
