## What is Roadstory?

With Roadstory you automatically get fitting audio stories about sights, viewpoints, and history – tailored to your starting point and your pace. Just open the app, pop in your headphones, and drive off. Or walk. Or cycle.

Our first tours cover NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia). Featuring industrial heritage, nature, insider tips, and real stories from the region. Roadstory keeps growing – more regions in Germany are coming next, followed by the whole of Europe.


How Roadstory works:
Simply pick a tour, download it for offline use – and off you go. Using GPS, the app automatically detects when you're approaching an interesting place and plays the matching audio story right away. There's nothing else you need to do – just start the tour, listen, and explore.

Want to navigate as well, or head straight to a specific stop? No problem: on request, Roadstory hands the route over to Apple Maps – so you keep the overview and travel with ease.

A few examples of our tours:

- Lüdenscheid: discover the City of Light in the Märkisches Sauerland.

- Dortmund up close: coal, coke, and beer – culture and history in Dortmund first-hand.

- Krupp & Co., Essen and Mülheim: steel giants, innovations, and the sounds of machinery.

- Between steel and skyline: Oberhausen, Bottrop, Gelsenkirchen.

- Origins of industrial heritage: Bochum, Hattingen, and Gelsenkirchen.

- Essen city walk: on foot through Essen's city centre, hear all about what makes Essen so wonderfully varied.

- Bochum city walk: on foot in Bochum, discover what defines the city between the Schauspielhaus and the planetarium.

- Erzbahntrasse: explore the former railway line between Bochum & Gelsenkirchen by bike.

Find these and many more tours, and listen to your surroundings in a whole new way!
