Pirate Treasure Hunt on the Bavarian Sea
Using a “real” treasure map, the pirates set off on an adventurous journey. The waters of Lake Chiemsee stretch out deep and mysterious beneath the pirates’ ship. The voyage takes us to the island of King Ludwig II: Herrenchiemsee. This is where the exciting search begins. But beware. Tricky traps, challenging tasks and the legend of the lake monster “Batus” make the quest more difficult.
On the island, the adventurers take a horse-drawn carriage ride to the royal palace. Afterwards they join a spooky tour through the palace, where they must keep an eye out for an important clue. With the help of this clue, the hopefully successful search with the treasure map begins for the well-hidden treasure of the pirate captain “Fischunkel”.
