Audio Tours

Baroque for all the senses

In 2026, the Upper Swabian Baroque Route will have been in existence for 60 years – if that's not a reason to celebrate. And certainly a reason to make the baroque landscape along the route modern and inspiring, new and sensual, individual and timeless, something that can be experienced and felt. New LAUSCHTOUR Audio Walks open doors to times gone by and immerse you in the Baroque era. App-based, they offer inspiring and exciting insights into history and the Baroque way of life.

Audio Walks

These walks are currently available via the LAUSCHTOUR-App:
