The tour invites you on an exciting journey into the past and covers, among other things, interesting topics such as “poor fat”, the work of the gravedigger and the effect of madder root. After the tour, we plan to stop at the Alsfeld wine cellar, where the exciting evening will come to a cozy end with a glass of wine and salt cake.

A real culinary delight and a lot worth knowing

For just 19 euros per person, participants can immerse themselves in the exciting nightlife of the Middle Ages and learn more about the historical figures in Alsfeld, just as they are told in Zurich by night watchmen who ensured the safety of the city and watched over dangerous activities, as zuerich.com explains.
