Zusätzlich erfahren Sie in weiteren 32 Kapiteln viel Interessantes über das Domschatzmuseum des Bistums Chur - über die Bistumsgeschichte, den Churer Domschatz und die Todesbilder aus dem Bischöflichen Schloss. Statt sich einer Führung anzuschliessen, begeben Sie sich mithilfe der Kartenansicht auf Ihren eigenen, ganz individuellen Stadtrundgang oder Sie wählen eine unserer vorgeschlagenen Routen aus. Anhand eines übersichtlichen Planes orientieren Sie sich und wählen am jeweiligen Standort das gewünschte Kapitel an. - Es funktioniert ganz einfach. Falls Sie keine Möglichkeit haben eine Route vor Ort abzulaufen oder nur einen Teil davon, können Sie alles ganz bequem über die Kartenansicht oder die Route des Domschatzmuseums von überall aus anhören und sich mit den hinterlegten Bildern eine Vorstellung von den einzelnen Stationen verschaffen.
