The trail of the pearls

The village of Stein has been known as «The Pearl of the Appenzellerland» for many years, and with its many beautiful features on every corner, this is certainly a well-deserved accolade. Steini, the little herdsman, has maybe taken the name a bit too literally and has embarked on a journey to find the pearl treasure. Along the trail, explorers must solve twelve riddles to find the password leading to the pearls.
