You step through an iron gate and the avenue of plane trees greets you like an old guard; the wind moves through their leaves and seems to whisper clues. The Vienna Central Cemetery (Zentralfriedhof) unfolds: long gravel paths, stone rows, and pocketed lawns where monuments keep quiet company. A mobile puzzle rally turns the landscape into a playable map — stations send riddles to your phone, and each solved clue nudges you deeper into the cemetery’s scale and stories.
