You step off the Kapellbrücke, the wooden boards still warm from the day, and the Foxtrail begins: an urban hunt that reroutes standard sightseeing into puzzle-solving momentum. Street corners, carved doorways, and the Reuss riverbank become a grid of clues; the trail pushes you up to the Musegg wall and down to the Würzenbach, where water threads through the city and seems to dare you to read its signs.
