About this activity

Wine cellars under a prince-bishop's palace, saints lining a medieval bridge, and a crane that once ruled the river — Würzburg rewards anyone who looks closely, and this hunt makes sure you do.

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

• Inspect the Alter Kranen, the 18th-century twin harbour crane on the Main riverbank

• Cross the Alte Mainbrücke between its twelve towering saints, wine glass optional

• Face the Residenz, the UNESCO-listed palace with the world's largest ceiling fresco

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.
