Milbertshofen-Lerchenau: ‘kreuz & quer’ Search and Run Game Kicks Off for Families and Children
From Wednesday, March 4th, to Wednesday, April 15th, 2026, children, families, and game-loving residents in Milbertshofen-Lerchenau, Munich, can participate in the ‘kreuz & quer’ search and run game, an initiative by the Department of Mobility. This exciting scavenger hunt encourages participants to explore their district using only muscle power – by foot, scooter, or bicycle.
How to Play ‘kreuz & quer’
The game involves finding colorful game boxes hung throughout the designated play area. Participants use a game card to scan these boxes, earning kilometers and points. The primary rule emphasizes sustainable mobility: points are only awarded for travel by foot, scooter, or bicycle. Drivers in the ‘kreuz & quer’ area are urged to exercise extra caution and consideration, or even better, join the game and cover distances by bike or on foot.
