On a witch’s broom through the Voreifel region

The tour takes you from Bonn via Alfter, Rheinbach and Swisttal and finally ends back in Bonn. The stops on the tour are closely linked to the theme and take you on a journey back in time. Nowadays, witches and their persecution are often associated with the Middle Ages. But this is a mistake, because the time of the great European witch hunts was essentially between 1600 and 1650. 40 to 60,000 people lost their lives at that time. Witch trials also took place in the Voreifel region between Bonn and Rheinbach at this time. One of the prisons for "witches" can still be seen today in Rheinbach, in the so-called Witches' Tower.
