2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Explore Munich after dark through ghost stories, dark legends, and the fears that made them endure. Led by Conny, a theatre and film scholar, this atmospheric evening walk looks beyond spooky tales to explore what they reveal about Munich's history, beliefs, and society.

Discover stories of ghosts, witches, devils, death, and the supernatural, including the devil's footprint at the Frauenkirche, the witch trials of St. Michael's Church, the legend of the “Schiache Luz,” and the cursed merchant of Maxtor.

This is a ghost tour without costumes, actors, or cheap jump scares. Instead, expect atmospheric storytelling, forgotten history, and a different perspective on Munich after sunset.

Along the way, enjoy a Kirschgeist shot for a little courage. During the winter months, a warming Glühwein is also included.
