    Hiking

    At the end of the 19th century, stone pillars were erected at many prominent waypoints. At that time against the protests of many hiking guides, because the feared loss of earnings.
    In the course of time, the stone signposts were replaced by wooden signposts as we know them today. Some of the stone witnesses fell into disrepair, but in some places the signposts have been restored and are now monuments.
