A medieval town stacked on a river bend, guarded by fountains and one very Gothic cathedral — Fribourg plays in two languages and hides clues in both.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Fribourg on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Meet the Fontaine de Samson, strongman of the old town's fountains
• Climb toward the Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas and its 74-metre tower
• Cross the Pont de Berne, the wooden bridge over the Sarine
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in French, English, and German.
Switzerland's best-kept medieval secret, unlocked.

What to expect
The Fontaine de Samson flexes first — one of the Renaissance fountains that punctuate the old town, this one showing Samson mid-lion-wrestle. Riddles test your strength of knowledge instead.
The Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas rises next, its Gothic tower dominating the skyline; 368 steps wait for the ambitious. Trivia stays at ground level with the stained glass.
Then the Pont de Berne crosses the Sarine on wooden beams as it has since the 17th century, the river district's covered classic.
Around two hours across bridges and language borders. The leaderboard announces results bilingually, in the spirit of the place.
