Grenchen Castle Ruins (Bettleschloss)

Ruins are always interesting even if only wall remains are left.
Here is a short excerpt from Wikipedia on Grenchen Castle / Bettleschloss:
 "In the beginning, the Höhenburg consisted of a wooden castle and a rampart. It was only around 1150 that the owners, the barons of Grenchen, rebuilt it as a stone castle with a residential tower and several extensions. The main castle is on the Schlossfluh, the lower one Castle on the Hofacherfluh. The additions were enlarged and an oven installed until 1200. The castle was inhabited until the early 14th century. "and here is a link with a lot of information for all those who want to know everything about the castle.

Be careful with bike shoes.

oh crap. for some reason the photos are uploaded twice 🙈

The ruins hardly give any idea how big the building was. This is nicely described on the information board. It is exciting that I, the Bettlacher and Grenchner are probably not some to whom the castle now belongs. The view is somewhat restricted by trees. Otherwise definitely worth seeing.
