Foxtrail Cyan – Basel City
Follow Fredy’s trail through two different old towns in Basel: at the beginning, the trail takes you right through the city centre – past Aeschenplatz, the city’s most important traffic hub. At St. Alban-Tor Park, you first discover the historical side of the city and then follow winding paths and bridges to the banks of the Rhine. From there, Cyan takes you further into Kleinbasel’s old town. Enjoy the panoramic view on the central bridge for a moment before you dive into the Grossbasel Old Town. The city presents itself at its best here with the artistically painted historic town hall and the Gothic Basel Minster. After a short detour to the amusing Tinguely Fountain, the trail ends at Barfüsserplatz.
Foxtrail Purple – Basel City
Purple takes you through the narrow streets of Basel: after starting the trail at the university, you head into the old town and past impressive houses. Hidden passages then take you to the impressive Gothic Basel Minster with its famous towers. You then walk to the art museum on St Alban-Graben, and it won’t be long before you reach your destination.
Tech fans in particular will get their money’s worth on this trail.
