    Hiking

    Half an hour from the Rhodannenberg, turning left from the little road in "Güntlenau" into the darkness of the forest, a path a few meters long leads to moss-covered rock debris. From the largest of these gray blocks, the dedication of artistic enthusiasm for the poems of the great Zurich artist Salomon Geßner, which two admirers of the poet dedicated to his poetry here in 1788, shines in white letters.
