Cologne remembers its last witch, and her story begins among the graves. This self-guided exploration game starts at Melaten Cemetery and follows the trail of the city's witch trials: past quiet ponds, medieval towers and monastery walls into the Old Town, until the cathedral rises above you at the Domplatte.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 4.9 km and takes around 2 hours, with no time limit.

Are you ready to meet the last witch of Cologne?
