Es war eine sehr schöne Runde durch Colmar, man kam an allen wichtigen Orten vorbei. Frustrierend war, dass wir das letzte Rätsel vor Ort trotz Erfahrung nicht lösen konnten. Für Anfänger sind diese zum Teil nicht einfach. Auch an der ersten Station habe wir viele Änderungen am Bild erkennen können, aber auf die richtige Zahl konnten wir nur durch herausfinden. Nach Abschluss einer Station wird immer ein Sondertext für die nächste Station oder so eingeblendet, den man aber wieder mit dem x abwählen muss, um die Route zur nächsten Station auswählen zu können. Wir könnten z.B. nicht nachvollziehen, warum der Text mit den kopflosen Pferden eingeblendet wird. Die Lösungshilfen waren zum Teil zu einfach, so dass man als Anfänger zum Teil dadurch nicht zur Lösung kommt und ggf. frustriert aufggibt. Gibt es keine kostenlosen oder Premium-Geocaches dieser Art in Colmar? Generell war GetyourGuide in Colmar eine gute Erfahrung.

God måde at komme rundt og se byen på. Det kan anbefales. På den måde gør man det i eget tempo og er en god måde som ex. når man som os havde hund med. Ps. Det er vist en dårlig oversættelse når “Scavenger Hunt” er blevet til Skurvognsjagt fremfor det Skattejagt, som vel ville være den rigtige oversættelse.

Level 1: Das Rätsel war etwas verwirrend, da nur ein Schaf als Unterschied angezeigt wird. Besser wären mehrere Unterschiede, um nicht fehlgeleitet zu werden. Level 6: Das Restaurant hat keine korrekte Adressenangabe. Level 10: Es befindet sich über, nicht unter dem Haupteingang. Ansonsten hat das Rätseln Spaß gemacht! Die einzelnen Level liegen nahe beieinander.
