A walk through the Muttental valley with its mining history! Absolutely home territory, and extendable in length with a decent amount of elevation gain. Today was supposed to be a short, relaxed walk, so slow down ;-) I was particularly taken with the snails at Steinhausen Castle today. There's so much beauty to discover here. Nice little walk!!!

Very interesting round, so informative and varied. You can see a lot that had to do with mining here in the past, e.g. B. a lot of tunnel entrances.
But the highlight remains the sculptures by Shona Art.😍
Such great art in such a beautiful setting. 🤗
