What to expect

Nine stops take you into the past – triggered along the line, depending on your direction of travel.

  • Emil Nolde and his mountain faces
  • The Rigi sickness as a reading
  • Father Athanasius and his proto-fax from Einsiedeln
  • Moor protection instead of an army base in Rothenthurm
  • The double murder on the Säntis
