Hiking

The Bärensteiner Post Mile Column has been in its place since 1734, it is probably the oldest original at its location and has been preserved on the original foundation. The post mile columns go back to the measurement of Zürner in the 20s of the 18th century. The details are distance hours (1 distance hour = 4.5 km).

The Bärenstein post mile marker has been in place since 1734; it is arguably the oldest mile marker preserved in its original location and on its original foundation. The post mile markers date back to Zürner's survey in the 1720s. The measurements are in distances of mileage (1 distance hour = 4.5 km).
