Munich Macabre

A unique hands-on historical and archaeological tour in English, researched and created by British archaeologist David "Taff" Simon.

There is more to Munich than beer, pretzels and lederhosen. Beneath the veneer of a modern European city is another Munich, remote – and yet still here, within touching distance, if you know where to find it….

This is not a ghost tour – all the events – every single bone-crunching last one of them – actually happened.

Dare you join Hans von Spanker and The Wench to discover the awful truth about:

The Black Death and other nasties

Medieval architecture and defences

Infamous witch trials

Traditions and folklore

Ancient burial rites

Why was beer so important? Try an authentic medieval brew!

Get to handle original artefacts as well as armour and (blunt) weapons

And much more besides….
