Activities
Look forward to a medieval street food festival. Expect food from the grill and fire as well as from the pot and oven. From Dinnede, "Chäsfüess" to "Langosch" and to crêpes and waffles. Warm mead, cider and mulled wine made to our own recipe are also available.
Practise your axe throwing and archery, experience the weapons demonstations or watch the falconer and his fascinating birds.
The little ones will be entertained in the castle (Historama) by the fairy tale teller with exciting stories and suprised by magician Rick. An entertaining programme with play stands and a gnome tree rounds off the programme.
