The wooded 1041.8m high Lauchflue is a somewhat independent peak in the Upper Basel area. To the north it has a rock face up to 80m high, which gives you a beautiful view of the Ergolz Valley and the Black Forest. To the southeast lies the slightly higher Schällenberg (1064m), which is separated from the Lauchflue by the Lauch saddle (1014m). The Lauchflue is easily accessible via hiking trails (T1), and on the summit there is a military observation facility from the time of the First World War (Fortification Hauenstein). Trivia: The lid of the observation post comes from the boiler of a steam locomotive.

The border fortifications of Switzerland were military lines of defense of the Swiss army for the protection of independence [1] in the sense of armed neutrality and the Hague neutrality agreement. In view of the rapid development of military technology, the Swiss government decided to supplement or strengthen the border fortifications during the Second World War with staggered defensive lines (advanced positions, Limmat position) and the Reduit.
