The path through the forest is long, but from there to think it leads to America...
After 5 km of hiking since we left the city, we see a
sign here that indicates “Safenwil 1h20”…
whereas the signs we saw in Zofingen indicated “Safenwil 1h25” if we had gone
the other direction! The thought that we’ve increased the distance of today’s
stage by 4 or 5 km does not make me a happy hiker…
Shortly before Safenwil, we finally find a great place
to eat our picnic.
Au depart de Zofingen, les flèches jaunes nous indiquent qu’il faut partir à gauche pour Aarau… alors que notre carte « huguenote » indique qu’il faut partir à droite, vers Heitereplatz… On décide de suivre la carte.
As we’re leaving Zofingen, the yellow arrows indicate that we should head left to go to Aarau… but our “Huguenot” map says we should go right, via “Heietereplatz”… We decide to follow the map.
Michel and I visit the city a bit, including the house of Ringier, a Huguenot from Nimes who brought the printing press to Zofingen
Then we enjoy a good Thai meal, before taking the train to the nearby town of Reiden (LU) where we’ve found another “good bed” hotel…
