Did the city of Basel get its name from the mythical animal basilisk? The fox wants to know this and has gone in search of the basilica's egg.

The trail brings some adventures with it: It goes through the historical center, with the help of chains along the Rhine and if you are lucky you will even meet an alien on the way.
