Cologne hides its darkest secrets in plain sight. In this haunted walking tour and escape game in Cologne , you are a restless soul trapped between worlds: the real Katharina Henot, Cologne's first female postmaster, wrongly executed as a witch in 1627. Her story is true. Her murderers are named. And she never received justice until 2012, when the City Council of Cologne formally exonerated her. Follow clues through the city's medieval streets, from the Melaten Cemetery to the Hahnentor , from the ruins of the St. Klara Monastery to the steps of Cologne Cathedral . Solve puzzles rooted in real history: the witch trials, the leprosy houses, the Black Madonna, and the Jesuit priest who dared to oppose the madness in print. This is one of the most original things to do in Cologne for those who want more than the cathedral and the Christmas markets. No guide needed. Start at Melaten, follow the fire, and bring a person you trust to walk beside you in the dark.
