    How do the discovery routes work?

    1. Get started: Simply click on the link or scan the QR code. You can also scan the QR code directly on the trail. In both cases, you will be redirected to a new page. You don't need to download anything, create an account, download an app, or anything else. The digital routes including facts are available as a web version and easily accessible via link (or QR code).

    2. No cheating possible: The individual stations must first be reached to unlock and listen to the associated stories and facts. But who wants to cheat when you've got it in your legs?

    3. Digital collection pass: After you have reached all stations of a discovery route, you will additionally receive a sticker in your digital collection pass as a reward.
