Information Quiz Trail
What:
The quiz course “Guess your way through the village” was inspired by the great success of the “Play your way through the village” game course. We also wanted to offer something in winter that
would allow locals and visitors to discover our village in a fun way.
It is a tour through the village, where you are guided by clues and questions are answered along the way. You will also learn interesting historical details about the places you visit.
For whom:
The quiz trail is designed for anyone who wants to discover our village in a fun way.
By whom:
The trail is a project of the Engelberg village community.
The project is supported by the municipality of Engelberg and Engelberg Titlis Tourism
Duration:
The tour takes about 1 hour. However, it is advisable to stop off at a restaurant/café on the way or be tempted to go shopping by the shop windows.

The tour can basically be done at any time.
