Thun Foxtrail Castello: Puzzle Adventure by Lake Thun
Summary
Lake Thun Scavenger Hunt & Schadau Castle Puzzle Walk
You’ll solve clever riddles around Lake Thun and Schadau Castle, working as a team while discovering secret spots most visitors miss. It’s playful, social, and gives you a fresh look at Thun—even if you’ve been before.
We kicked off our Foxtrail adventure just outside Thun, where the air smelled faintly of wet grass after a morning drizzle. The first clue had us circling a quiet path toward Gwatt, eyes peeled for a black swan gliding by—locals say it’s good luck if you spot one. Our guide handed us the starting documents and reminded us not to overthink things; sometimes the answer’s right under your nose.
The route took us past Schadau Castle, its towers peeking through old trees. There was a group of kids in princess costumes giggling on the lawn, which made the place feel like something out of a storybook. From here, you get a clear view of the Eiger and Mönch peaks in the distance—on a clear day, anyway. We got stuck at one puzzle near the water but called the helpline (super friendly!) and were back on track in minutes. The fox’s clues led us through hidden corners of Thun’s center before looping back along the river. I liked how even locals seemed curious about what we were up to.
