About this quest

Johann Ortwin, young Teutonic scribe discovers sinister experiments within Honigberg fortress, where an alchemist harvests bees’ venom to create deadly elixirs for power and false miracles. 

As knights vanish and truths are silenced, the scribe becomes trapped between duty and horror, forced to record secrets that could destroy the Order if ever revealed to the world.

Frequently asked questions

What is the honey alchemy quest in Hărman about?
You follow Johann Ortwin, a young Teutonic scribe who uncovers sinister experiments inside the Honigberg fortress. An alchemist is harvesting bee venom to brew deadly elixirs for power and false miracles. As knights vanish, the scribe is caught between duty and horror, recording secrets that could destroy the Order.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at Kastel Transylvania and finishes at the Fortified Evangelical Church in Hărman, so it is a one-way route rather than a loop. Along the way you pass places such as Muzeul Satului, Primăria Hărman, Cuptorul Vrăjitoarelor and Althaus before reaching the church.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles. The route covers around 3.1 km through the village. You can pause at any point and continue later, so there is no need to finish in one go.
Is it suitable for children?
It suits older children and teens best. The puzzles are rated medium difficulty, and the story is a dark medieval one involving vanishing knights and deadly elixirs, which may be too grim for young children. Families with kids who enjoy mysteries and legends tend to get the most from it.
Do we need to book a time or pay to play?
No. It is free to play and you can start whenever you like, with no group to join and no guide to meet. The app leads you from stop to stop on your phone, so a group of friends or family can simply set off together.
