November 1, 2022,Alt-Kasten über den Werwolf Wanderweg zum Schloss Bedburg

Nice autumn tour! Alt-Kaster is a small historic city center, partially surrounded by city walls.
We partly followed the well signposted werewolf hiking trail. Each sign tells the story of the werewolf.
For a little break we stopped at the Mille Voglie ice cream shop. Really delicious waffles!
