About this Tour
On the digital TripleAP scavenger hunt with Vega, Cosmo and Cupcake, you and your children will discover Cottbus, the green capital of Lower Lusatia with its special Sorbian/Wendish culture. On your own and at your own pace. If you need a break along the way, want to eat ice cream or want to relax in the Pushkin Park, then go ahead! The aim of the scavenger hunt is not only to guess the answer, but also to spend a nice and entertaining day with your children. And maybe learn something about Cottbus, the Sorbian/Wendish culture and the history of the city along the way.
The route: Your scavenger hunt starts at City Hall, the cultural center of the city. The GPS map on your smartphone takes you through the green Lusatian capital — from the Japanese tea house in Pushkin Park to the Cottbus stagecoach, via the historic Old Market Square to the Wendisches Museum, past the medieval Spremberg Tower. You walk along the Spree to the oldest houses in the city, visit the modern diesel power plant museum and end up at the imposing Upper Church of St. Nikolai. The perfect place to recharge your batteries after your tour and discuss your shared experiences. Which stations do you stop at along the way? Well, there must also be a bit of surprise.
Start and meeting point: You will receive an email with your personal access link directly after booking.
