The charming small town in the Wipptal, nestled between majestic Alpine peaks, is the perfect setting for an unforgettable adventure. Whether you're a tourist visiting for the first time or have lived in the region for a long time – this Sterzing Scavenger Hunt will show you corners, stories, and details you certainly didn't know before.

How does the Scavenger Hunt in Sterzing work?

Wondering how it all works technically? Don't worry – it's child's play and ready to start in just a few minutes. The Scavenger Hunt through Sterzing is based on the myCityHunt App, which you can easily download from the App Store or Google Play Store onto your smartphone. All you need is your phone, mobile internet, and, of course, a valid ticket.

And here's how it starts: The player who booked the tickets loads them into their wallet within the myCityHunt App. They then configure the tour – that is, number of players, number of teams, the desired tour, and the language. After that, a Lobby QR Code appears in the app, which all other participants simply scan to join the lobby. Now, each player selects a team and joins it. Then comes the really cool part: Each player chooses an individual role – for example, photographer, detective, or adventurer. During the game, each player receives challenges tailored to their role. After that, everyone starts the tour together!

On an interactive map, you'll see the various stations spread across the Sterzing city area. You decide which station to head to first. The GPS navigation safely guides you through the alleys and streets of the old town. At each station, you receive your current task through the app – and then it's time to keep your eyes open, combine, puzzle, and find the solution together! For each solved task, you earn points that contribute to the high score. This way, you're not only competing against each other but also measuring up with teams from around the world.

Good to know

You don't need any prior knowledge of Sterzing to master the Scavenger Hunt. The clues and solutions are often found right on-site – on facades, inscriptions, statues, or hidden details. Just keep your eyes open and be surprised!

What to expect on a Scavenger Hunt in Sterzing

Sterzing – in Italian Vipiteno – is one of the most beautiful small towns in South Tyrol and has even been included in the exclusive circle of "Borghi più belli d'Italia." And rightly so! The historic old town with its Gothic bay windows, colorful townhouses, and the unmistakable alpine city flair forms the perfect backdrop for your Sterzing Scavenger Hunt. But what exactly can you expect in terms of content?

Sights that will take your breath away

Your route takes you past some of the city's most fascinating landmarks. There's the imposing Torre delle Dodici – the Zwölferturm, Sterzing's unmistakable landmark that has towered over the old town since the 15th century. Or the beautiful Chiesa di Nostra Signora della Palude (Church of Our Lady of the Marsh), whose Gothic architecture and artistic furnishings will amaze you. The magnificent Palazzo Jöchlsthurn, a Renaissance jewel with a storied history, might also be on your route.

But that's not all: The Chiesa di Santo Spirito with its impressive frescoes, the Monumento a San Giovanni Nepomuceno by the city stream, the mysterious Cappella di Sant'Elisabetta, and the Chiesa di San Salvatore – all these places tell stories that go back centuries. Even the marble column at the Kreuzkirchl and the Cappella presso la canonica hold secrets that you can uncover during the Sterzing Scavenger Hunt. And if you look closely, you might discover a detail at Sterzing-Neustadt 32 that provides the crucial clue for a tricky task!

Exciting puzzles and surprising facts

The Digital Scavenger Hunt Sterzing is much more than a simple city walk. At each station, you'll encounter diverse tasks: Sometimes you need to decipher an inscription, sometimes find an architectural detail on a facade, sometimes answer a tricky knowledge question. In between, there are creative photo challenges, funny team tasks, and surprising anecdotes that show you Sterzing in a completely new light.

  • Knowledge questions about the history and culture of Sterzing
  • Observation tasks where you search for details on buildings and monuments
  • Photo challenges for funny and creative memory pictures
  • Role-specific special tasks that challenge your individual talents
  • Team tasks that can only be solved together

Especially worth knowing

In the Middle Ages, Sterzing was an important trading town on the route over the Brenner Pass. The wealthy merchants left behind magnificent townhouses, whose facades still tell of this prosperity today. During your Sterzing Scavenger Hunt, you'll learn exciting anecdotes – for example, about the creation of the famous Sterzing yogurt or the hidden details on the Torre delle Dodici!
