The LIstory App

The country's historical heritage can be found on every corner of Liechtenstein. To celebrate its 300th birthday in 2019, the Principality of Liechtenstein launched a new app giving visitors the opportunity to experience the country’s history in digital form. The LIstory app Länk till annan webbplats. is available to download (on App Store and Google Play Store) and represents the perfect pocket companion to the Liechtenstein Trail.

This trail winds its way through the principality, connecting all eleven municipalities that make up this small country. Measuring a total of seventy-five kilometers in length, it takes visitors through old villages, past forests, and idyllic landscapes. The special thing about the Liechtenstein Trail is that it gives users the chance to visit buildings and places of historical importance as well as to learn about some of the key events in the history of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The LIstory app transports the history of the country into the present day and brings it to life via 147 interactive stations. The app features more than one thousand photos, film clips, audio files and 360° visualisations to provide a new, digital approach to Liechtenstein’s history. Users can either read the texts themselves or have them read aloud. Highlights in the app include several Augmented Reality (AR) experiences. Using the camera on a mobile phone, these AR elements conjure up a model on the ground in front of the user. The AR experience for Vaduz Castle, for example, provides a unique opportunity to look behind the castle walls and inside certain rooms closed to the public. There are ten such Augmented Reality experiences included in the app.
