Riddle story

Mrs Axtamhelm, a wealthy widow living in Weggis, can no longer remember the code to her jewellery safe. Fortunately, her late husband prepared a memory aid for this situation. Along her favourite walk from Hertenstein to Weggis, he hid the secret codes for opening the safe at nine different stations. He photographed the hiding places, marked them on a map and added notes where necessary. Unfortunately, he was not the best photographer, and Mrs Axtamhelm cannot make sense of his notes either. With the help of the map and the photos, can you find all nine secret codes? As soon as you find a code, punch it into the designated area. The solution awaits you at the Tourist Information office in Weggis, where you can claim your reward.
