Hiking

Anyone who passes this point cannot help but wonder who or when this impressive stretch of road was built. It somehow transports us back to the time of the Romans and Helvetians. Who knows? Perhaps it was just a simple construction worker named Gustave Dubois (name fictitious) who built it in 1963 on behalf of the city of Neuenburg. Of course, it is all pure speculation. Perhaps one day, someone will explain it to us. We are excited. Until then, however... for us it remains a path from the time of the Romans and Helvetians. ;-)

It's a peculiar feeling to walk on these worn-down steps. History in the making, so to speak.
