The Roman god Mercury stands here amidst the greenery of Schwollen – with his purse and serpent-headed staff, symbols of trade, wealth, and his role as messenger of the gods. The figure serves as a reminder that the Romans were already active in this region, and that roads, goods, and messages once traveled through these valleys. Nestled among moss, ancient trees, and offering a view across the countryside, the statue appears almost like a silent guardian of the modern hiking trail. Tip: Take your time to read the information panel – it's especially fun with children to look for the statue's features (staff, purse, winged hat) and compare them with the description.
