The scarf is not one of them - someone has probably put it on his neck because of the cool night temperatures ...
But it fits somehow ;-)

View of Hengebach Castle
Highlight • Viewpoint
The castle was first mentioned in 1106 as the property of the lords of Hengebach. The castle later fell to the Count of Jülich. In 1687 the castle fell victim to a fire. The restorations started in 1904 were destroyed in the Second World War and later resumed. The keep, the remains of the palace and the castle walls have been preserved from the original castle. The castle was rebuilt in 2009 and has been used as an art academy ever since.
