The new tool, called Blind Explorer, allows users to explore the surroundings of the Cistercian monasteries using 3D sound technology and satellite navigation. Supported by the ONCE Foundation, the digital solution works even in areas without mobile coverage, ensuring hiker safety at all times.

These adapted itineraries complement the GR 175 route with paths specifically designed for safety. Experts recommend using bone conduction headphones, which allow users to hear acoustic navigation cues while keeping the ear canal open to ambient sounds.

This project is part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, supported by the European Union through Next Generation EU funds. The app is free to download on Google Play and the Apple Store.
