Together with Detective Dachs, they set out to track down the lost treasure while discovering the “garten city’” along the way. The five-kilometre route winds through the Old Town, past historic landmarks and up to the Rosengarten, where sweeping views stretch across Winterthur’s rooftops. Along the way, teamwork, sharp observation skills and a little creative thinking are all part of the challenge. Families also pick up fascinating insights into Roman history and Winterthur’s past. As clues are solved, the treasure chest draws closer. Those who crack the final code can open the treasure chest and claim a small reward.
