About this audio guide
This guide to the Pöllat Gorge in Schwangau, near Füssen, is about a sum that refuses to balance: years of closure, a village budget, and a short stretch of open trail. It follows the spring of twenty fourteen, when rock came down onto the path, and the mayor, the geologist and the steelworkers who set out to make it safe again. Best heard at the gorge entrance, within earshot of the stream.
