Great, varied tour - even if it was through the fog the whole time 😶‍🌫️. It was a very calm and mystical atmosphere!

At the starting point: some free parking spaces!

This time we went from the hiking car park at the Golfhotel Hattenhausen to the Napoleon Tower and back again.

It was a simple but very nice and sometimes strange round.

First we went along a field path at the edge of the forest. Everything was in bloom here and I could see ants getting nectar from the flowers.

The Napoleon Tower circular route is really a recommendation for anyone who likes great views and wants a varied, easily walkable route. Super nice in autumn/winter and spring, well signposted with green signs, simply Swiss, and with many benches and a barbecue area. In the summer maybe a little too exposed to the sun.
We met Napoleon 1st, but did …
