Stein am Rhein's old town is so perfectly preserved it won the first-ever Wakker Prize for heritage protection — every painted facade looks ready to tell its own story, and this trail makes them talk.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Stein am Rhein on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Look up to Kirche Burg and the Römerkastell, where a Roman fort guarded the Rhine crossing
• Pass through the Undertor, the medieval gate into the painted old town
• Decode the Rathaus and the frescoed square around it
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and French.
By the last riddle, Switzerland's prettiest small town will have painted itself into your memory.

What to expect
Up at Kirche Burg and the Römerkastell, the riddles reach back furthest: a church standing inside the walls of a late-Roman fort that once watched over the Rhine frontier.
At the Undertor, you'll pass beneath the medieval gate tower that still marks the entrance to the old town — spot the details the app asks about before you walk through.
The Rathaus and its square are the grand finale: town hall, half-timbering, and facades frescoed with knights, merchants, and morals — the richest painted ensemble in Switzerland.
Around 2 hours of storybook streets along the young Rhine. By the end, you'll understand why this little town took home the very first heritage prize.
