Solve the scavenger hunt questions together as a family. You might need your parents' help when reading the information boards and answering tricky questions. Your parents may also need your help exploring the route and looking for hidden clues. Please always make sure to treat nature with care. Dispose of your trash in bins; if none are nearby, please take your packaging with you and do not leave it in nature. Have fun hiking, enjoying nature, and solving puzzles together!
A hike for the whole family!
The Family Alliance Roman Wine Route and the Youth Office Schweich, in cooperation with the Tourist Information Roman Wine Route, offer families the opportunity to spend an exciting, eventful day on a family-friendly hiking trail in the Schweich municipal association.
On the 8 km shortened hiking route "Extratour Zitronenkrämerkreuz", marked with "Family Scavenger Hunt", families find numerous interesting points tracing the Romans and the lemon merchant, equipped with quiz questions. The questions for the scavenger hunt can be downloaded free of charge from the Youth Office Schweich website and the Family Alliance Roman Wine Route website.
After successfully completing the scavenger hunt, the completed sheets can be sent by email or post to the Youth Office Schweich. The achieved score is evaluated by the staff of the Youth Office and a high score list is created.
In this high score list, families are listed under their "nickname" with the points achieved.
The winning families receive a small surprise.
The completed sheets can be submitted by post or email to the Youth Office Schweich until August 23, 2020.
We wish you and your family a lot of fun and relaxation on the hike, as well as much success with the scavenger hunt.
