A trail of rats runs right through the old town: the rat stones. They led us on a circular hiking trail through the city, past the most important buildings and sights.

If you look away from the beautiful, old houses and look at the ground, you will see small rat stones scattered all over the pavement, matching the story of the Pied Piper. A nice little detail!

Hamelin simply stands for the Pied Piper as well as Bremen stands for the town musicians :-)
