The planet walk of Laufen is a hiking path from Laufen to Liesberg that features a solar system model in the scale 1:1,000,000,000. Both the size and the distances are to-scale. This means Pluto is almost 6km from the sun. But beware, the distances are always linear or as the crow flies. The real walking distance is over 13.7km. If you make this in 4 to 5 hours you still traveled faster than light (in scale). It is a hiking path, most planets are not accessible by vehicles.
The Pluto model has a diameter of only 3mm. The distance from the sun model is almost 6 kilometers as the crow flies. The walking distance is about 13.7km. This model is located on the soil of the municipality Lieberg. A walk of about 2 kilometers down the hill brings you to the hamlet Riederwald from where you can take a bus back to Laufen where the planet walk started.
