Description
Follow your grandfather's mysterious trail through Munich's legendary brewing heartland in this self-guided smartphone adventure. A strange bottle, a soldier riding a cow, and a cryptic message lead you from Marienplatz through medieval market squares, hidden Baroque passages, and the city's most storied breweries. Using the free Questo app, you'll navigate 11 chapters across Munich's Old Town at your own pace. Decode puzzles at the Mariensäule column, uncover the 1516 Reinheitsgebot purity law at Viktualienmarkt, visit Oktoberfest breweries Hacker-Pschorr and Schneider Weisse, step inside the infamous Hofbräuhaus, and end at a hidden wolf fountain steeped in Germanic folklore. Start anytime — no reservation needed, no guide to wait for. Just open the app and begin your brewing adventure through one of Europe's great beer capitals. The quest takes approximately 1 hour 31 minutes and covers just over 2 km through Munich's walkable Old Town.
