After driving up a hill next to Lugano we walked from the village which Hermann Hesse visited frequently, Carona, through the forest high up over the lakes.

Looks like an advertisement (Litfaßsäule) but it’s a shrine and the start of our leafy walk.

Growing on a tree stump.

Great view today

Just the place for a picnic.

A few sculptures to round things off.
