Tourist office sells tickets for Halloween event

The Pfrimmtal Touristik association will sponsor its traditional spooky Halloween event Oct. 22 in Breunigweiler. A diversity of animals such as giant spiders and bats as well as ghosts, witches, monsters and bandits will be up to mischief and scare participants on a horror trip trail.

The horror event will take place 6:30 to 11 p.m. and the entry to “spooky horror world” will be at the sports field in Breunigweiler. Here, hiking participants will be able to get refreshments before starting their horror trip.

“Sturdy shoes and the love of adventure are good requirements for the 2-kilometer long route,” said Albert Koch from the PFT association.

“Just like last year, the horror trip leads to the center of Breunigweiler, which will turn into a giant horror arena, decorated with bloodthirsty accessories and typical Halloween items,” Koch said.

After the horror trip, participants have the possibility to meet in various yards of the village to talk about their experiences.

“Here hikers can recuperate from scary moments, taste fingerfood, bratwurst, sauerkraut, French fries and waffles, and enjoy a social get-together in a spooky atmosphere,” Koch said.

The hike is at own risk and not appropriate for children under 12. The route will be lit, no flashlights are needed. Dogs are not allowed.

“Last year, more than 2,000 visitors joined our horror event. We also counted 154 American friends. We hope to even lure more this year,” Koch said.

Interested participants should get advance tickets for the specific time zone they would like to start their hike in. That way they can avoid long waiting times. Tickets are available for €7 at Pfrimmtal-Touristik, Muehlbachweg 1 in 67725 Breunigweiler, north of Alsenborn, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. each day.
