During the Scavenger Hunt, teams will pass some of Essen's most notable sites. Highlights include the Museum Folkwang with its celebrated collection of modern art, the Old Synagogue as a place of remembrance and cultural dialogue, and the SANAA building at Zollverein Essen alongside the industrial landmarks of Kokerei Zollverein and the Ruhr Museum. Design enthusiasts will appreciate the Red Dot Design Museum, while the city's religious and architectural heritage is showcased at Essen Minster, Marktkirche, St. Johann Baptist and Kreuzeskirche. Each stop provides intriguing challenges and a chance to soak up Essen's diverse cultural landscape.
