"The Bözingenberg takes its name from the village at its southwestern foot. It is a high mountain but still easy to climb. My companions and I often do so, because up there is where you will find the best playing fields. It is wide, probably an hour’s hike, and far longer as well. [...]. And it is the most beautiful mountain with the most wonderful view. From the top you can see three shimmering lakes, many other mountains, plains in three directions, towns, villages and forests, all spread out below in the distance and seemingly designed to be admired. From here, studying geography and many other things besides is a pleasure."
