    Hermann Hesse was also in Ticino in April 1907 to complete a four-week cure on Monte Verità near Ascona. Shortly afterwards, he recorded his experiences tragically and amusingly in the notes In the Rock. Notes of a natural man notes. It is not difficult to imagine the protagonist trying out the alternative, ascetic way of life of the dropout colony in a Spartan light-air hut.

      The former place of worship for artists and bon vivants in the early 20th century is now a "hybrid" place. On the one hand with the museum elements of the former artist colony ("light-air huts"), plus the tea garden, one of the few tea plantations in continental Europe. On the other hand as a conference center of the ETH Zurich with a hotel complex. Congress participants dine on the terrace while the wilderness is moving in on the edges of the park and a lot is waiting for renovation. A nice range for an inspiring walk.

      The Casa Anatta has been renovated since the end of May 2017 and now a very attractive permanent exhibition on the history of Monte Verità has been set up there.

        The best of the port of Ascona over tens of steps run up. Exhausting but beautiful.
