Overview

Europe's mightiest waterfall thunders on Neuhausen's doorstep, but this trail argues the village itself — its factory empire, its old houses, its oddball corners — deserves a look too.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Neuhausen am Rheinfall on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Find the Chübeli-Moser-Huus, one of the village's most storied old houses
• Explore the SIG Areal, the industrial site that put Neuhausen on the world map
• Compare the Hasler-Häuser, a row of workers' houses from the factory era

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.

By the end, you'll see Neuhausen as more than a viewpoint for the Rhine Falls — it's a village with its own current.

What to expect

Starting at Zentralstrasse 38 in the village centre, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and get going. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

At the Chübeli-Moser-Huus, the riddles dig into village history — an old house whose name and timbers carry stories from long before the tourists came.

The SIG Areal tells the industrial chapter: founded here in 1853, the company built railway carriages, and packaging machines that travelled the world, and the riverside factory complex still shows its scale.

The Hasler-Häuser round out the picture — a neat row of workers' homes from the days when the falls powered the factories and the factories fed the village.

About 2 hours at a comfortable pace, with the roar of the Rhine Falls never far off. By the end, Neuhausen's own story will stand tall next to its famous waterfall.
