Embark on the Linz Audio Tour: Innovation and Inspiration Along Academic Avenues

Iron and glass shudder under the weight of progress in Linz. Yet behind these modern lines, the past whispers of dark intrigues, campus rivalries, and castle secrets.

Walk these streets on your self-guided audio tour to uncover layers most miss: scientific icons cloaked in controversy, a castle that outlived revolutions, and a faculty whose experiments sparked more than just headlines.

Who covered up the vanished invention that once lit up the Faculty of Engineering with hope and outrage? What rare midnight ritual drew dissenters to Auhof Castle in the middle of winter? How did a misdelivered letter set off the strangest domino effect of Linz’s academic history?

Trace ambition, rebellion, and inspiration as they ripple through city squares and quiet courtyards. Each step unlocks hidden drama, each story resets how you see Linz.

Plug in, press play, and hear Linz’s iron heart beat with buried stories.
