Ancient boundary stones, bearing coats of arms and paintings, stand along this border path. Relics from bygone days, if only they could talk...

The St. Chrischona television tower, also known as the St. Chrischona transmitting station, is a 250-meter-high television tower operated by Swisscom in the municipality of Bettingen, northeast of Basel. Its topographically advantageous location on the St. Chrischona mountain, from which it takes its name, makes the tower a crucial component in broadcasting coverage for northwestern Switzerland. The site has been used for transmitting facilities since the mid-1950s. (Source: Wikipedia)
