The "Klangweg Toggenburg" is a walking trail above Alt St Johann in Switzerland, along which various sound stations have been set up. Aeolion is placed at the most windy place allowing the public to listen to and interact with the wind. The instrument follows the concept of "Triple Instruments" (2019) and has three sound giving units: a hummer on top, an aeolian harp in the middle and a drum skin on the ground.
