Experiences
An impressive way to discover our region! I’ve seen the landscape many times before, but I’ve never experienced it like this. Every bend brings a new perspective – and a fascinating story. If you take the Postbus through the Albis hills listening to the Umweg app, you’ll see them in a whole new light.
Gabriela Noser Fanger, municipal council president of Ottenbach

History, nature, entertainment – a perfect mix. I was surprised at how vivid history can be! The stories turn the landscape into an interactive experience. If you’re interested in nature or history, or just want to take a special break, you should definitely give the Umweg app a try.
Elias Mohr, civilian service, in training

Hop in, put your headphones on – and learn something about the landscape outside. What a cool concept! I’ve always been curious about what I see passing by outside my Postbus window. The Umweg app now satisfies exactly that curiosity, with witty, surprising information recounted in a fascinating way.
Hanspeter Tschanz, former nature conservation project manager Canton of Zurich

Is that not enough?
At the Kappel a. A., Kloster stop, you can continue with the app – but this time on foot. On the “Umweg am Albis” audio tour, you’ll discover the landscape as if you’re in a three-dimensional film that’s also an experience for sight and sound. The walk lasts for just over an hour and a half, during which you’ll learn a great deal about the landscape, its value and its history, as well as the numerous related changes to nature and society.
