Kampen.Digital

The Kampen.Digital app offers visitors the opportunity to discover Kampen in a diverse and modern way. On the one hand, it guides users along the art and culture trail with informative steles and multimedia content for culture-loving users. On the other hand, it has been expanded to include an interactive adventure trail for children, inviting them to explore Kampen in a playful and child-friendly way. The app thus combines a wide spectrum of content – ​​from informative to entertaining, from cultural to family-friendly – ​​and offers experiences for all ages.

Along the art and culture trail in Kampen, there are 40 steles with information about important people who lived and worked in Kampen. As soon as app users approach one of these steles, they receive a push notification. Location is determined via GPS. They can then view multimedia information about the steles and other sights.

The app also offers thematically relevant 3D animations presented in augmented reality (AR). For example, an animated thatcher explains how a thatched roof, typical of Kampen, is created. This and other 3D animations appear on the display as soon as the smartphone camera detects an AR layer. For orientation, an interactive hiking map is available, where you can find your current position as well as the locations of the steles and sights.

Another highlight of the app is the newly integrated adventure trail for children. Accompanied by a digital Sylter Puk (Sylt Puk) – from the world of North German legends – children and families can experience an interactive circular route through the village. At the individual stations, which are displayed on the digital hiking map and distributed throughout the village via wooden steles with QR codes, he tells short, child-friendly stories about topics such as nature conservation, his life as a Puk, and North German peculiarities. After each story, small puzzles can be solved, tasks completed, and points collected – thus imparting knowledge in a playful way. Those who successfully complete all stations can look forward to a small surprise at the end. The adventure trail is ideal for families who want to explore together and experience Kampen from a new perspective.

The app works even if your smartphone doesn't have an internet connection.

Whether you're traveling alone, with your family, as a tourist, or a local – the Kampen.Digital app offers a diverse experience for anyone who wants to discover and experience Kampen on Sylt in a whole new way.
