About
Olten likes to say you can reach it from anywhere in Switzerland in under an hour — but this trail is about what happens when you actually get off the train. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Olten on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Cross the Alte Holzbrücke, the wooden bridge that has spanned the Aare for centuries • Admire the Chorherrenhäuser, the stately canons' houses of the old town • Track down the Rathskeller and its place in Olten's civic life Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German. By the last riddle, Switzerland's favourite meeting point will have become a destination in its own right.
