What you need to know before your trail

The funny thing is I never even meant the first one. Now I bitterly regret visiting the cursed witch’s house, deep in the middle of the forest. It’s where I made my wishes.

I wished Klara Klein dead.
It came true.

I wished for the most gorgeous boy in town to finally notice me.
It came true.

I wished to be rid of the poisonous busybody who destroyed my family.
It came true.

I didn’t mean for this to happen. Not me, Steffi Nett, the shy one who never says anything. But as the body count increases with every wish I make . . .

Who else could it be?

Travel Guide

Bad Münstereifel

It’s in the woods close to  Bad Münstereifel

that the story and myth of Red Getrud, the Witch of Schnau comes into being. The children in the book are keen to tell this story to Izabela the newcomer. The witch has a house in the forest, way out in the middle of the forest right off the track, where nobody ever goes. It might have been three hundred years ago, but the legend still lives however….
“The house is still there. They burned the witch but they left the house standing, and its still up there, in the woods. And since it’s Walpurgisnacht, when the witches are supposed to fly, we should go up there and see if Rote Gertrud is flying too”
