About Roots Earth

Roots Earth needs no account: open Munich in the app, pick a place and play; download Munich's audio, then it plays without a connection.

The stories are written by local people, and every one of Munich's 98 places has its audio story in all seven Roots Earth languages: English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch and Albanian.

During the festival the program, the tents and experiences and the 25 places are in the Roots Earth app, Munich section, under Events and Activities for Germany; after Sunday 4 October 2026 that section switches off by design and the Munich audio stories stay.

Across the app, Roots Earth has audio stories for 5,665 places in 130 cities, 25 countries and 6 regions, as counted in the live catalogue on 12 September 2026: audio stories in English and German in every city, and in Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch and Albanian in 126 of the 130 cities. Download a city's audio, then it plays without a connection.
