The Coats of Arms Are the Key to Its Routes
A coat of arms is more than just a symbol. It is a distillation of history, ambition, personalities, and fascinating stories.
Perhaps most remarkably, in parts of Europe it is still alive today — even appearing on vehicle registration plates.
A coat of arms is also a key to a different Europe: hidden routes, historic towns, forgotten treasures of culture and history, castles, and mountain resorts far from the crowds.

TRAVELING WITH COATS OF ARMS
Autoheraldry combines a passion for European travel and an attention to details that are often overlooked. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria are countries where every turn conceals not only landscapes but also meanings: coats of arms, legends, architecture, history, and local traditions.
These aren't just European landmarks—they're entry points into history. Here, a route can begin with a small symbol and end with a cozy mountain hotel, a stroll through an old town, or a perfect descent down a snowy piste. Traveling with coats of arms is when you don't just look, but understand where you've come.
