At the end of the 19th century, stone signposts were erected at many prominent points along the way. At the time, this was despite protests from many hiking guides, who feared a loss of income.

Over 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 were restored and are now monuments.
