Study tour
On April 25-26, 2017, 8 employees of the information centers from Mosty u Jablunkova (GOTIC) and Istebne (GOK) participated in a study tour to learn about the promotion methods used in other regions on the Czech-Polish border. The purpose of the study tour was also to get inspired by how they work in several places and how different types of questing routes were created. Two new questing routes were later also created in our region (in Mosty u Jablunkova and Istebne). For example, the employees visited a questing route on the Czech-Polish border around the meanders of the Odra River, completing tasks on an almost two and a half hour route. In Studénka, on the other hand, they walked a shorter, three-quarter hour circuit.
Quest Mosty u Jablunkova – Learn about the past and find the treasure
The Gorolské tourist information center in Mosty u Jablunkova together with the information center from Istebne have created two questing quests - treasure hunts. You can find one in Mosty u Jablunkova, the other in Istebne. They lead from one interesting place to another and to the hidden treasure!
Anyone who wants to complete it will get a basic leaflet from the IC in Mosty u Jablunkova, or download it here on these pages, and set off into the terrain. They will walk through the village and discover various interesting places. The quest route is not marked in the terrain in any way, treasure hunters must find it themselves according to the information in the leaflet. For better fun while searching, the text is in verse and contains various clues, riddles and ciphers. Seekers must decipher them during their journey to get to the treasure.
Successful completion is for skilled seekers and solvers of puzzles and tasks! Write their solutions in the prepared boxes in the leaflet. Finally, rewrite the letters and numbers in the colored boxes on the back of the leaflet: you will receive a PASSWORD and CODE for finding the treasure, the small number will tell you which position.
Please work with the boxes and stamps carefully, do not destroy them, so that those who come after you can also enjoy finding the hiding places. Choose one gift from the treasure and leave the others for other seekers. Thank you, we wish you good luck and, above all, have fun!
Start of the route:
Guide yourself by the church in the center of the village. Face it and the start is 100 m to the right: 49°31'39.761"N, 18°45'14.927"E
