The Regensburg scavenger hunt starts at the Kepler Monument near the station and leads to St Emmeram’s Basilica, Neupfarrplatz and the Alte Kapelle. From the cathedral of St Peter you pass the Roman Porta Praetoria and reach the Stone Bridge over the Danube, then the Old Town Hall, Haidplatz and finally Bismarckplatz.
The 10 stops cover about 3.6 km, roughly 46 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Regensburg began as the Roman fortress of Castra Regina, and the Porta Praetoria still stands from that time. Its medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is full of patrician towers, while the 12th-century Stone Bridge crosses the Danube. In the Old Town Hall the Perpetual Imperial Diet met from 1663 to 1806, and the astronomer Johannes Kepler died here in 1630.
Wandering with a map, you see the famous sights; with a riddle to solve, you start noticing the details around them: dates over doorways, statues, inscriptions. Each answer unlocks the story behind the place, the whole group joins in on their own phones, and you set the pace.
The Regensburg scavenger hunt takes about 3 hours: 10 stops and about 46 minutes (3.6 km) of actual walking, the rest is riddles and stories. You can pause at any time and continue later.
It starts at the Kepler Monument near the main station and finishes on Bismarckplatz at the western edge of the old town. In the app you can choose a different starting stop or change the order.
