How does the Scavenger Hunt in Berchtesgaden work?

Wondering how it all works? It's simple – yet brilliantly thought out! The Digital Scavenger Hunt Berchtesgaden is based on the myCityHunt App, which you can download for free from the App Store or Google Play Store. All you need is your smartphone and mobile internet. No paperwork, no complicated instructions – just start and have fun!

The process is straightforward: The player who booked the tickets loads them into their wallet in the myCityHunt App and configures the tour. They set the number of players, the number of teams, the desired tour, and the language. A lobby QR code is then displayed, which all other participants simply scan to join the lobby. Each person then selects a team and joins it.

Now it gets really exciting: Each player chooses an individual role – for example, photographer, detective, or adventurer. During the Scavenger Hunt through Berchtesgaden, each player receives challenges that perfectly match their chosen role. This way, every team member can bring their own strengths to the table!

  • Download the app – free from the App Store or Google Play Store
  • Book tickets and load them into the app – the ticket holder configures the tour
  • Join the lobby – all players scan the QR code
  • Choose a team and role – photographer, detective, adventurer, and more
  • Start together – and discover Berchtesgaden in a whole new way!

The app's GPS navigation safely guides you from station to station. You decide which task to tackle first and at what pace to proceed. Breaks are possible at any time – whether for ice cream at Berengarplatz or a quick detour to the beautiful Luitpold Park. The app reliably brings you back to your route afterwards.

Good to know

You need no prior knowledge of Berchtesgaden! The scavenger hunt is designed so that you learn everything important along the way. That's what makes it so appealing: you learn playfully while solving tricky puzzles.

What to expect on a Scavenger Hunt in Berchtesgaden

Berchtesgaden is much more than just a pretty Alpine town – it's a place full of history, culture, and surprising stories. And this diversity is what makes the Scavenger Hunt Berchtesgaden so special. On your tour, you'll pass some of the town's most fascinating sights and discover things that even locals find surprising.

What sights await you?

Berchtesgaden is full of architectural treasures and historical highlights. During your Scavenger Hunt Berchtesgaden, you'll encounter these impressive places:

  • Royal Castle Berchtesgaden – once the residence of the Wittelsbachs, now a museum with an impressive collection of sacred art and historical weapons
  • Collegiate Church of St. Peter and St. John the Baptist – the spiritual heart of the town with a history dating back to the 12th century
  • Royal Villa – a magnificent building that tells of Berchtesgaden's close connection to the Bavarian royal family
  • Franciscan Monastery Berchtesgaden – a place of silence and reflection in the vibrant town center
  • Christ Church – the Protestant church of Berchtesgaden, an architectural gem
  • St. Andreas and the Calvary – a spiritual place with a fantastic panoramic view over the Berchtesgaden Valley

But it's not just about looking! At each station, you'll find tricky puzzles, exciting quiz questions, and creative photo challenges. You'll need to decipher inscriptions, discover architectural details, and demonstrate your knowledge of the region. Along the way, you'll learn fascinating anecdotes – for example, about the formation of the Prince Provostry, which determined Berchtesgaden's fate for centuries, or about the hidden details on the castle's facade.

Particularly noteworthy

For over 600 years, Berchtesgaden was an independent Prince Provostry – a small ecclesiastical state in the middle of the Alps! During your scavenger hunt, you'll learn how this unique history still shapes the town today and what traces it has left on buildings like the Royal Castle and the Collegiate Church.

Between stations, the route takes you through picturesque alleys, historic squares, and green oases like the Luitpold Park. You'll be amazed at how much there is to discover in this seemingly small town. And the best part: The Alpine backdrop with the Watzmann in the background makes every photo a real eye-catcher!
