Experience the landscape – Discover history and stories

The millennia-old cultural landscape between Zirbitzkogel and Grebenzen is full of secrets: Traces of Celts and Romans, mystical castle ruins, places shrouded in legend. Experience the past in a completely new way - with an interactive app that takes you on a fascinating journey through time through the region.

Regional history comes to life with the new cultural trails in the Neumarkt high valley and the free app ‘Legendary Landscapes’.

The app connects regional monuments, archaeology and the region's rich mythology across five routes with more than 40 stops. Augmented reality, 3D animations, audio files, images and texts open up new ways of accessing historical sites, regional legends and scenic features – for visitors and locals alike.

The app guides you interactively along the trails, reveals hidden details and brings the past to life – exciting for anyone who wants to experience culture and nature.
