Foxtrail Conexus Adventure: Kreuzlingen to Germany Urban Quest

Summary

Kreuzlingen cross-border scavenger hunt: Foxtrail Conexus tips

You’ll join friends or family on a real-life treasure hunt through Kreuzlingen and into Germany—solving clever puzzles, exploring hidden corners, and sharing laughs along the way. Perfect for anyone who loves adventure with a twist.

What’s the experience like?

Right from the start at Kreuzlingen station, you’ll feel a buzz—there’s a mix of locals grabbing coffee at Café Barista and small groups huddled over their Foxtrail starting documents. Our guide handed us a map and that all-important barcode printout (don’t forget yours, they really check), then we set off. The air had that fresh lake smell, with a hint of wood smoke drifting from somewhere nearby. You’ll want comfy shoes; the route takes you through quiet backstreets, past old timbered houses, and even across the border into Germany—so keep your ID handy. I remember pausing at a quirky fire brigade mural where we had to solve one of those “how did they even think of this?” puzzles. It’s not just about finding clues; it’s about noticing little things—a faded sign here, a hidden message there.

At one point, we found ourselves in front of an odd-looking mailbox attached to what looked like someone’s garden shed. That was our next clue spot! The trail isn’t just city streets—you’ll hop on local trains or buses (tickets are included if you’ve got your confirmation), and sometimes you’ll need to ask for help from friendly locals or even a shopkeeper who’s clearly seen plenty of confused Foxtrailers before. There’s this moment when you cross into Germany—the signs change language, and suddenly everything feels just a bit different. If you’re competitive like me, you’ll love racing other teams to the next post, but honestly, it’s just as fun taking your time and soaking up the scenery along Lake Constance.
