The castle can be visited (no entrance, partially closed in winter, everything is open in summer). Located on the former Way of St. James.

According to legend, Ida was the daughter of a count of Kirchberg near Ulm and married to a count of Toggenburg (after 1562 he bears the name Heinrich). According to legend, a raven once stole Ida's wedding ring. The ring was found by a hunter in the bird's nest. When her husband noticed the ring on the hunter's hand, he accused Ida of infidelity. He had the hunter killed and rushed Ida out of his castle window. Because of her innocence, she was miraculously saved by God. The mistake cleared up later in her sanctuary, but Ida wanted to continue devoting her life to God as a hermit. Her penitent husband later had her built a hermitage in the Au near Fischingen Monastery, where she died in the call of holiness.

The tower is very well preserved and maintained. Stairs in it lead all the way to the top, nice views, so be sure to go up to the top.
