    Tips

    October 5, 2019

    If you don't want to visit Schloss Laufen via the fee-based route, you can take the glass elevator to descend: Oops... the panes are so clean and clear that you think you're standing outdoors... but at least the floor is not glass. It takes some getting used to and is surprising, but the magnificent view makes up for it.

      For a fee you can also get there without a 2-minute walk

        Those who are too lazy and do not want to walk the stairs can easily take the lift. However, it is not recommended for people who are afraid of heights, as it is made entirely of glass
