Start at WIDI's Kidspark and hike through the forest via Ebele to Habichen. After crossing the road and visiting the Weller Bridge, you walk back to Oetz on the other side.
Embark on a fascinating discovery journey! Follow the wide forest path from WIDI's Kidspark up into the forest. Along the way, you pass a picturesque chapel and continue hiking through the forest with magnificent views of Oetz. Turn off in time to take the path to "Ebele." From the Ebele viewing platform, you enjoy a breathtaking view of Habichen. Then it goes downhill over roots and stones until you reach Habichen. Briefly cross the federal highway and return to the forest, heading toward the Weller Bridge. There you can admire the beauty of the Ötztaler Ache. Follow the river further toward Oetz until you finally arrive at the soccer field. After you have uncovered all the treasures, proceed to the final.
Along the marked route, there are small caches (treasure boxes). Each cache has a task. Enter the solution in your treasure map. If you have found all caches, you can unlock the lock at the final. The final reveals a secret with which you can claim a gift at the Oetz information office.

Directions
This exciting discovery journey starts at WIDI's Kidspark. You walk along a wide forest path that winds through the forest. Shortly before heading toward the Ebele viewpoint and Habichen, the path takes you to the chapel where the first cache awaits your discovery. After carefully placing it back in its hiding place, continue your journey along the picturesque forest path, which soon leads you to several walls—only one of which hides the second cache. Follow the trail markers to safely reach Habichen and enjoy the breathtaking view of Oetz along the way.
After you arrive higher up, turn onto a narrower hiking trail that leads you to Ebele. On this path, you have the opportunity to discover another cache. A small wooden bridge takes you over a gently babbling creek, and soon you reach Ebele. Here, you have the chance for a photo stop, to search for the next cache, or simply to enjoy a well-deserved rest while admiring the view. Then follow a path downhill to Habichen. Keep an eye out for the next cache shortly before reaching Habichen.
In Habichen, stroll leisurely through the streets of the village, cross the busy main street, and continue your hike on the forest path behind the hotel, which leads you to the Weller Bridge. Here, you cross the majestic Ötztaler Ache and find the next cache before crossing the bridge again and hiking along the river back to Oetz. The wide forest path, which soon also reaches lush meadows, leads you ever closer to your destination. Don’t forget to look for the next cache along the way before crossing the Ache again to reach the soccer field on the other side of the creek, where the last treasure awaits you. Once you've found it, your path leads you through the idyllic village of Oetz to the Oetz information office, where the code lock awaits to be cracked by you.
