On a Smuggling Spree
Experience the thrill of the Smuggler's Tour
Discover the Eifel’s wild coffee years!
Anna Grenze & Wilma Rüber, aka tour guides Dorita Molter Frensch & Sabine Petri, take the plunge. In the late 1940s, in the heart of Germany’s Wild West, they risk the smuggling tour across the green border into Belgium. Because they’ve had enough of Muckefuck and Mokkatürk—they’re craving real black coffee. Will their “smuggling” venture succeed?
During this gripping and entertaining tour, you’ll learn more about the lives of smugglers and border guards, their worries and hardships. Their courage and cunning come alive again as you hike across the border from here to there.
