About this audio guide
This guide to the Kalvarienberg in Füssen starts with a prince, a priest and a holy relic, and a light placed with one particular window in mind. It then turns to an April night in two thousand two and a very different light over these mountains, followed by amateur astronomers, two young Bavarians and a physicist with a computer model. Best heard at the summit crosses, facing the castles across the valley.
