With its signalling arms, it is modelled on a historic telegraph pole and thus attracts the attention of hikers and cyclists from afar. In Napoleonic times, it was used to send the first short messages - the first text messages in history, so to speak - over a distance of around 12 kilometres. The signalling arms are based on the ‘Chappe system’, which was developed by the…
