The route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Stella Trail starts at the Wettingen Monastery Guest Centre and leads along the Limmat riverside path and through the monastery garden back to the starting point. Participants can expect a fascinating journey into the past, on which they solve exciting puzzles, discover the surroundings and acquire historical and cultural knowledge. The game takes about 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The history of the trail is just as impressive as the experience itself. It begins with Knight Henry II of Rapperswil, who returned from a crusade and was surprised by a storm on the high seas. In desperation, he prayed to St Mary, whereupon a bright star calmed the waves and saved his life. In gratitude, he vowed to build a monastery. Depictions of Mary as a mermaid in Wettingen Abbey still bear witness to this miracle today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
