Thun Scavenger Hunt + Self-Guided Sightseeing Tour

The Thun Treasure Hunt + Self‑Guided Attraction Tour is an innovative experience that combines walking sightseeing, puzzle‑solving adventures, and in‑depth exploration. Using the Explorial App on your smartphone as the core guide, it transforms this medieval town, nestled on the shores of Lake Thun and cut through by the Aare River, into an interactive playground. Participants unlock iconic attractions such as the Rathausplatz (Town Hall Square), Thun Castle, and the Thun City Church while solving fun puzzles, all while discovering the city's hidden treasures and historical stories at their own pace.

This journey requires no fixed meeting time and is free from the constraints of a guide. The entire 1.5 to 2‑hour itinerary can be paused, rested, or extended at any point of interest, perfectly balancing the freedom of exploration with the richness of the experience. It is not only suitable for families, friends, and groups to enjoy together, but also an ideal choice for school outings, corporate team building, and group bonding activities, allowing every age group and travel combination to create their own Thun memories.

The core attractions of the itinerary each have their own highlights. Rathausplatz, the heart of the old town, was built around 1250 and is surrounded by late Baroque‑style townhouses, Thun's oldest stone building, the Welsch House, and the Town Hall Fountain rebuilt between 1828 and 1833. The clues set here by the App may relate to the square's history as a livestock market and medieval public punishment facilities, guiding participants to examine the architectural details and the spatial stories of the square. Thun Castle, built in the 12th century, is a Swiss national cultural heritage site and was once a symbol of power for the Dukes of Zähringen. Today, it houses a museum with rich collections. Climbing the castle tower offers a stunning panoramic view of Lake Thun and the Alps, while the App's puzzles lead participants to explore the architectural ingenuity of the Knight's Hall, the castle's defensive history, and its former prison stories, bringing this majestic medieval structure vividly to life.
