The Lauchweid observation post was built on the Lauchflue as part of the Hauenstein fortification. It's still in good condition. The Hauenstein fortification was one of 3 fortifications, next to Bellinzona and Murten, which were to form the main line of defense of the Swiss Army in World War I. At Hauenstein, the line of fire with connecting trenches was over 27 kilometers long. There were open and covered positions for 126 guns and eight switchboards.

Very nice at the height and partly integrated in the forest. Nice view towards Basel!
