The Rischinerwald treasure hunt is packed with lots of great riddles. Along the way, you'll come across a giant forest xylophone and a wooden ball track, among other things.
Solve the puzzles and finally find the treasure of the little Belalp witch Vero.
The treasure maps and the wooden balls (CHF 2.00) for the ball track on the trail can be obtained at the tourist office or at the Belalp Bahnen AG counter.

The Rischinerwald treasure hunt leads from the valley station of the Belalp cable cars via the Rischinerwald in the direction of Burgen and back via the Hexenkessel to the valley station.
This is an approx. 2h round hike.
Good hiking shoes, clothing suitable for the weather, sun and rain protection, as well as a sufficient supply of food and drinks, should there be no refreshment stops or shopping facilities available or open. Although the trail is very well marked throughout, you should always have a suitable hiking map with you for safety reasons. Take sticks or other aids with you.
