More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The cobbled streets of Thun click beneath your shoes as the first clue sends you toward the castle’s shadow. A fox — clever, careful — has left a paper trail across plazas, riverside promenades and the steep Schlossberg paths, daring your team to read signs, spot hidden messages and think laterally. Wind from Lake Thun pushes at your jacket; gulls wheel above, watching the hunt.
