Collect moments, not things.

We have put together a mishmash of potential memories, that will last forever.

The annual medieval festival in Altena is a major event in South-Westphalia. During the first weekend in August jugglers, magicians, knights and princesses dominate the town. They bring along dance, music and delicacies from far away countries and past times.
