Yes, he and other painters were the first walking there. And carrying the easils and everything. And back then there were not walkways like there are now. This all started with the painters, and then the people loved the pictures and started to go there, and it was the beginning of tourism.
It all started in 1764. Some Swiss painters said it looked like home and this is why it is called Saxon Switzerland.
