April 5, 2023,Bedburg: Werwolf Wanderweg

Great round! We deviated slightly from the original route, which is on the Werwolfwanderweg side of Bedburg. The route is now also well signposted, unfortunately it is sometimes not quite clear whether it is the signpost for the entire route (approx. 10 km) or the two sections, which can also be walked separately. Otherwise a big improvement, since more directions …

A very nice varied tour. From the medieval town through nature to Bedburg Castle. You can still linger over an ice cream in the ice cream parlor in Bedburg. Nice along the water and in the forest.

Today with 5 hikers to Alt-Kaster. We wanted to explore the werewolf trail. A wonderfully varied tour with only a few meters in altitude. In between, a long coffee drink in an ice cream parlour. Then went the rest of the way exploring the great medieval town of Alt-Kaster. Look at the pictures. Truly a town where history is lived.
