Hiking

Between Schwollen and the woods surrounding the Sirona Trail stands this Hercules statue with an information panel. The Roman god of healing and oracles is based on the Greek Heracles, son of Zeus, famous for his twelve labors – from defeating the Nemean Lion to plucking the golden apples of the Hesperides. The combination of the statue in the woods and the bilingual explanation makes this spot a small blend of mythology and history lesson right in the middle of the trail.
