Jena Audio Tour: Science, Saints, and Stories Through Time
Under Jena’s quiet skyline, secrets pulse beneath glass laboratories, ancient greenhouses, and silent stone towers. Every street hides stories that shaped science and shook faith. This self-guided audio tour invites you to uncover Jena’s hidden legends and long-shrouded mysteries. Drift beyond the tourist trail and hear the rumblings that most rush past. Why did a feud at Jenoptik echo through global corridors of power? Who vanished under suspicious circumstances near the tranquil glass domes of the Botanical Garden? What scandal left whispers in the shadows of St. John the Baptist, staining its altar for decades? Move through sun-dappled alleys and across storied courtyards as Jena’s forgotten rebels and restless visionaries come alive. Each landmark swings open, letting you step into moments few notice but no one can ignore. Ready to listen as Jena’s secrets crackle just beneath the surface? Begin.
