Five-Arm Signpost at Wildensbuch Trail Junction

Highlight • Structure

Simply beautiful to look at: the five-armed signpost in the middle of a crossroads, including seating. The official yellow hiking sign is located at the edge of the forest.

The weather app (including the Swiss one) promised sunshine from 10 a.m. So Beate, Heidi and I agreed to meet at 10 a.m. at the hiking car park near Uhwiesen. We wanted to follow a tour by @Christian that leads above Schaffhausen over three observation towers.
