This self-guided quest in Utrecht sends you into the medieval centre to investigate reported monster sightings. You’ll follow clues through seven landmarks, piecing together witness accounts that range from a cockatrice to a woman who supposedly bricked herself into a church wall. Along the way you’ll decode ciphers, question on-street witnesses in the story, and work to uncover the truth behind the Monster of Utrecht.
The route takes you past notable sites including the Speelklok Museum and the Dom Tower, and through a Teutonic Knights compound tied to the only Teutonic Order still active in the Netherlands. You’ll cross a canal where a poem is carved into the cobbles one letter per week, and learn about local oddities such as a cathedral said to have vanished in a single storm and a UFO on a building constructed from 22 million bricks. The experience highlights stories most visitors miss and lets you explore at your own pace as you move between the seven stops.
