Why a Booktrail?
Who knew bad singing could come in handy?
The Bremen Town Musicians
What you need to know before your trail
This is the classic tale of four beleaguered animals—a donkey who can no longer work, a hound who can no longer hunt, a cat who’s too old to chase mice, and a rooster who’s scheduled to become dinner—who decide to run off to be musicians in the town of Bremen. But they get more than they bargained for when they stumble upon a frightful gang of robbers. Maybe they can find a clever way to turn their dreadful singing to their advantage

Travel Guide
Travel to Bremen BookTrail style with the Bremen Musicians themselves!
The Bremen Town Musicians are without doubt the pride and joy of the city. A bronze statue created by Gerhard Marcks in 1953 stands in the heart of city as a tribute to the four animals musicians. Tourists come from all over to see the animals standing on top of each other – it’s a must see when you are here.
The statue is only two metres tall and can be found on the left, western side of the town hall. If you follow Schoppensteel street from the Church of Our Lady towards Domshof, you can’t miss it!
