Odeonsplatz

Hello, travellers! Here starts your journey to Munich and buckle up because the adventure awaits you with the most haunted stories. The first checkpoint is Odeonsplatz, an impressive square in central Munich which was designed in the early 19th century by Leo von Klenze in an Italian-like style. Hidden out of sight is the history of this place.It was here that an obscure leader of a minor band decided to march into Munich to seize control of Bavaria in 1921. The only problem was that the authorities were notified and were waiting with machine guns at Odeonsplatz. While some were killed in the fire, they missed the unknown leader, who later caused so many deaths in Europe. Wait no more and discover who that controversial character was by solving the challenge.

Hofgarten

If you sense the smell of roses while hearing the rustling of the leaves in the wind, then most probably you find yourself sitting on a bench in the small paradise of Hofgarten. At the edge of Munich’s historic old town, there lays this green park designed in the 17th century by Elector Maximilian I, having as a muse an idyllic Italian Renaissance garden. This used to be a place where only high-class personalities, such as dukes or electors, were allowed to take a walk and enjoy the scenery. Nowadays, we can all enjoy its majestic architecture, but could it be a place where dark, ancient secrets lie? Only by looking around you, you can find the answer and advance further.

Theatinerkirche St. Kajetan

You are now headed towards another place reminiscent of that Italian grandeur: the Theatine Church of St. Cajetan. This is a Catolic church erected by Elector Ferdinand Maria and his wife Henriette Adelaide in the mid 17th century, as a tribute to the birth of the long-awaited heir to the Bavarian throne. However, make sure you don’t just admire this jewel only from the outside – the white, ornate interior wonderfully creates a contrast to the brighter yellow of the facade, that became a well known symbol for the city and influenced the German Baroque architecture. Don’t get entrapped in the beauty of the place because you still need to find some answers!

Sitzender Keiler

Because so far you were acquainted with only fabulous places from Munich, now it is time to meet the Sitzender Keiler or the Sitting Boar, which also impresses the visitors, but in a queer way. The statue depicting a pig resting its hind legs on the ground while perched up on his short front legs as if having a look at something in the distance, guards the entrance to the Hunting and Fishing Museum. I know that by reading this, you already imagine this queer icon, but that is not enough. You need to go there yourself and rub its nose, so you can have luck for the rest of your life. You will certainly need that luck to uncover the boar’s mystery.

Frauenkirche

Wandering through the heart of the city and looking up, it is impossible not to observe 2 twin towers of approximately 100m, both belonging to the Frauenkirche, one of Munich’s best known landmarks. “The Cathedral of Our Dear Lady”, as it is known for the German residents, has an interior that leaves you speechless: intricate vaulted ceilings and amazing long stain glass windows. But besides beauty, this church harbors the Devil's footprint at the entrance. Legend has it that the builder of the church made a bet with the Devil that the church would have no windows. When the Devil noticed he had been tricked, he certainly left his footprint on the place. Figure out how by solving the challenge and unlocking the full story!

The place is booming with activity and for sure, something happened here. Discover what by answering the question and advance to your next destination!

What makes your visit worth even more is the bird’s eye view you will get by climbing the 299 steps to the tower of St. Peter’s parish church.When you reach the top, the magnificent landscape of Munich’s center makes up for the effort.

New Town Hall (Neus Rathaus)

Here comes the final destination: the New Town Hall of Munich, the cherry on the top. Apart from being the home of politics in Munchen, the place where the city council meetings take place, it is also FC Bayern's favourite balcony. Here, FC Bayern greets their fans when they’ve won the championships. So, if you are a football fan, watch out for this! The Glockenspiel in the hall's tower attracts audiences from around the world, through its performances and stories. It is said that after a terrible epidemic of the plague, the barrel makers have been the first people to risk stepping back out onto the streets, dancing for the amusement of the population gripped by fear of the disease. To be in the spirit of this story, dance your way to the final clue to unlock the Haunted Munich’s mystery and call yourself a true Questo explorer!
