An adventure begins at the market square

During the treasure hunt, teams will visit some of Herten’s standout sights: Schloss Herten with its grand architecture and picturesque grounds, the intimate Schlosskapelle Herten steeped in history, the striking St. Antonius, the contemporary Glashaus (Herten) and the historic Haus Backum. These locations provide scenic backdrops and historical clues that enrich the experience while teams work through each puzzle.
