“Sehr gute Zusammenstellung der Schnitzeljagd-Box, um wichtige historische Plätze, Örtlichkeiten, Bauwerke und Personen - auch ohne professionelle Führung - gut kennenlernen zu können und dabei noch Rätselspaß zu haben. Kein besonders schwieriges Rätsel und daher gut zu lösen, auch mit Kindern. Gesuchte Punkte sind gut zu finden. Entfernungen zu den einzelnen Örtlichkeiten sind gut zu erlaufen. Tolle Erläuterungen auf der Rückseite mit viel Wissenswertem zu den erlaufenen Örtlichkeiten. Jederzeit gerne wieder !Read more”
