Description
On eight of the total twelve information boards between Bölchenflue and Lauchflue, historical photographs from the time of the First World War can be seen. The lectern shape of the boards makes it possible to compare the photos on site with the current situation. The boards are mounted exactly at the spots where the photographer had stood at that time.
An audio guide, which can be played via mobile phone, allows a deeper immersion into the topic. Information boards as well as the audio guide were realized by the Hauenstein Fortification Association. Funding was secured by the guest tax fund of the Basel-Landschaft canton, the Hauenstein Fortification Association, and private donations.
Surefootedness is especially necessary in wet weather, and walking sticks and hiking shoes with good soles are recommended.
