Thun stacks a 12th-century castle above a medieval market street with raised sidewalks — and drops the whole arrangement beside a turquoise Alpine lake with the Eiger on the horizon.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Thun on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Cross the Rathausplatz, the arcaded square at the foot of the castle hill
• Climb to Schloss Thun, the white keep with four corner towers above the roofs
• Visit the Stadtkirche, whose octagonal tower watches over lake and old town
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and French.
By the last riddle, the gateway to the Bernese Oberland will have opened up completely.

What to expect
On the Rathausplatz, the riddles start among arcades and flower-decked facades, with the castle looming photogenically above every answer.
Then it's up the covered stairs to Schloss Thun, the 12th-century Zähringen keep whose four corner towers have become the town's signature — the knight's hall and the views both reward the climb.
The Stadtkirche completes the skyline: its rare octagonal tower has watched over Thun since the Middle Ages, and its terrace looks out across the Aare to the Alps.
Around 2 hours between castle, church, and riverbanks, with Aare-side breaks encouraged. By the end, Thun will feel like the perfect first chapter of the Bernese Oberland.
