Eavesdropping tour

In Hildesheim, an extraordinary listening experience now awaits visitors and residents alike. Along the popular Rose Route, a professional narrator takes users into the world of the historic marketplace, the UNESCO World Heritage churches, the legendary 1000-year-old rose bush and much more. The Hildesheim audio tour can be accessed via the free Lauschtour app and lets listeners experience real cinema for the ears. In addition to the narrator of the audio play, a Hildesheim connoisseur and a Hildesheim connoisseur have their say and tell exciting stories, background information and anecdotes about the cathedral city and its sights. Sabine Herzog is with heart and soul Hildesheim city guide and tells of exciting stories as well as the mysterious sagas and legends from long ago days of the city. Sven Abromeit, chairman of the Hildesheimer Heimat- und Geschichtsverein, has been dealing with the history of Hildesheim for many years and knows it like hardly anyone else. Furthermore, real bells ringing from the Kehrwieder tower, the call of the eagle owl from the Mariendom or the hammering of the armorer make the tour an atmospheric, authentic and auditory experience.

The Hildesheim Rose Route combines Hildesheim's outstanding sights into an entertaining circular route with plenty to discover. The Lauschtour app eliminates the need to constantly look at your smartphone for information and navigation. The app guides you by voice from point to point, where the next part of the audio play is waiting. This allows users to devote themselves entirely to listening to and experiencing the sights of Hildesheim and to discover the city intensively with all their senses. Users of the app can choose between the 2.5-kilometer World Heritage Circuit, which can be walked in about one and a half hours, and the 4-kilometer complete Rose Route, including the half-timbered quarter. Around two hours are allotted for this route. The tours are particularly suitable for those interested in culture, but also for families with children over the age of ten, for example.
