Foxtrail Apollon – Lucerne City
Apollon captivates with an exciting story and intricate puzzles. The search for Richard Wagner’s lost score leads on a journey to the Tribschen neighbourhood. But what happened to the score? It has been considered lost since the Second World War. Was it destroyed? Or is it still hidden in a secret place in Lucerne? The path to the lost score leads the teams to ice-cold puzzles and musical surprises. At the secret storage location, the teams finally find the solution! But they don’t have time to celebrate (yet) – the press conference is waiting.
From the centre, the trail runs along the shore of Lake Lucerne. The large green areas and the park at Ufschötti are a beautiful oasis, especially in spring when everything is in bloom.
Foxtrail Athena Summer – Lucerne City
After starting at Lucerne railway station, the trail leads to Kriens. You walk through the Hofmatt neighbourhood and through Bellpark towards Sonnenberg. Take the funicular railway up to Kriens’ local mountain. Once at the top, you will be impressed by the view over the Alps before heading through the forest towards Obergütsch. You finish the trail with a bus ride back to the town centre.
Foxtrail Kronos – Lucerne city centre
The trail starts with a famous Swiss along the lakeshore. You then have to find your way through a maze and climb up and down a few metres in altitude until you reach the Museggmauer. Not without helping the city’s water hygiene office, you head to the cinema to find the final post.
Foxtrail Poseidon – Lucerne City
The trail quickly takes you away from the concrete and into the green oasis of the city. The Dreilindenpark not only offers nature, but also wonderful views. Then it’s down the hill and through the Wesemlin neighbourhood. The destination is the Rotsee, which lies in a wonderful nature reserve. After an idyllic walk along the shore, participants take the Rotsee ferry (a small boat) and cross the lake to discover a clue. At the very end, Poseidon will take you back to the city centre, where you will visit the famous Lion Monument.
Foxtrail Zeus – Lucerne city centre
Zeus is the trail for all those who appreciate the sights of Lucerne and the panorama in equal measure. Right at the start, the trail takes you to the Chapel Bridge, through the Old Town and up to the medieval landmark Museggmauer. It then continues to the Würzenbach neighbourhood and on to the lake. After a detour to the Swiss Museum of Transport, the trail ends back in the city centre.
