Historical traces in Hartheim: hike to the border stone with emperor history

The seventh holiday hike in Meßstetten led the participants on an exciting discovery tour through the history, which goes back to the times of Napoleon. Around 220 hikers made their way to Hartheim, where they not only enjoy the landscape, but also gained interesting historical insights.

One of the highlights of the hike was the boundary stone of the Wednesday hikers, which impresses with its historical importance. At this place the connection to Napoleon Bonaparte comes alive. With his political decisions, the French emperor had far -reaching influence on the region, which can still be felt today. The boundary stone, decorated with the flag of the former Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Württemberg, not only symbolizes a geographical separation, but also the story that took its course there.
