Eight stories sit along the ride between Lucerne and St. Gallen – each where it belongs to the landscape.

• The fire at Lucerne station
• The quarrel over Rigi sickness, between Küssnacht and Arth-Goldau
• Moor protection instead of an army base in the Rothenthurm bog
• The inventor in the Benedictine habit, at Biberbrugg on the way to Einsiedeln
• Gilded mathematics: Jost Bürgi from Toggenburg, around Wattwil
• Murder on the Säntis, with the Alpstein in view
• The man who gave the mountains a face, around Herisau
• The leap across the gorge at the Sitter viaduct before St. Gallen

Between them, seven soundscapes open up: across the lake, on the climb, over the Seedamm and through the Ricken.
