Embark on a magical journey of discovery with Rondo and his best friend Sam Salamander.

Join Rondo and his friend Sam Salamander on a special mission.

The wise mountain witch has lost her magical powers – only those who solve the puzzles along the way can find the magic stones and help her regain her powers.The trail is about 1.8 kilometers long and takes around 30 minutes to complete, with eight varied puzzle stations along the way. A real highlight is the 374-meter-long “Skywalk” pedestrian suspension bridge, which you cross along the way.

The trail is also easily accessible with strollers and is in summer an winter open.

How does the Puzzle trail work? 

First, grab a puzzle booklet that you'll find at the mountian station. You will team up with Rondo and Sam to solve 8 tasks. At each station, an exciting task and a magic stone with a letter await you. Collect all the letters to decipher the secret magic word at the end.Once you have found the correct magic word, you will not only help the wise mountain witch, but you will also be entered into the monthly prize draw.
