Guided tour "Witch hunt in Hachenburg"

Join the night watchman and the bailiff on a hunt through Hachenburg for the dreaded witch Walburga.

A city tour for families with children aged 8 and over and all crime fans.

Hachenburg is known as the "Pearl of the Westerwald". But even in this idyllic setting, fictional, gruesome stories can be told. Accompanied by the night watchman and the bailiff, you go on an exciting search for clues about the "Witch Walburga".

The decision to organize a crime city tour as part of the 1st Westerwald Crime Festival was quickly made by the Tourist Information staff.
The city guides were also convinced by the idea of wrapping up a gruesome story in an eventful city tour and thus attracting numerous crime fans to Hachenburg. To ensure that the little ones were not forgotten during the Westerwald Crime Festival, it was immediately clear that the offer should also be aimed at families with children.
As the town guides know the town's history best, the concept was placed in their hands. Christel Krischkofski, Ingo Bothe and Ottmar Schneider put their heart and soul into planning and embellishing the tour until the finished concept - "Witch Hunt in Hachenburg" - was created.
