    How do the discovery trails work?

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

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

    3. Digital collector’s pass: Once you have reached all the stations on a discovery trail, you will also receive a sticker in your digital collector's passport as a reward.
