4.6(29)2 hFree cancellationBy Explorial

About this activity

Little streams run through the streets, a red Münster towers overhead and the Black Forest starts at the city limits — Freiburg is Germany at its sunniest.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Freiburg im Breisgau on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Marvel at the Münster, whose spire survived when little else did

• Study the facade of the Neues Rathaus on its flower-filled square

• Wander Konviktstraße, the old town's most romantic lane

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Mind the Bächle — stepping in brings marriage, they say.
