German Treasure and Scavenger Hunts

Berlin is an exciting and vibrant city in which to have your treasure hunt, since the removal of the Berlin Wall, which divided the city during the Cold War and beyond, there has been a policy of re-development. Potsdam is more traditional with Baroque period roots. On your treasure hunt you will see the old and the new ...

The region of Berlin has been settled for 2000 years or more, although the earliest traceable settlement directly on the site of Berlin is from the 8th century. Early in the 9th century, the name Berolina first appeared in Latin documents however it was not until the middle of the 13th century that the name Berlin is seen. The famed tree lined boulevard "Unter den Linden" was created in the mid 17th century and the symbol of Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate came about a century later.

Despite the destruction created by the Allied forces bombing during the second world war, Berlin still retains a wealth of interesting architecture and historical quarters. There are churches, castles and gardens dating back to the 17th century.

You may also consider a visit to Potsdam for your treasure or scavenger hunt - founded in the 10th century, it became the seat of the 18th century Prussian Royal Family. The fabulous Baroque palaces rival other Royal residences such as Versailles and Windsor (where we also have treasure and scavenger hunts) and the historic Dutch Quarter offers much of interest too. Potsdam was once the centre of the German film industry. There are plenty of cafes and beatuiful streets, perfectly suited to a leasurely stroll (or, more likely, the manic chase to find the answers to as many of the treasure hunt clues as possible!)

Your Berlin or Potsdam treasure hunt and scavenger hunts can be written with start and finish locations to suit your needs within the city of Berlin or Potsdam or elsewhere in Germany. It can be on foot or by car, you decide.
