For those interested in history: The Froburg is one of the oldest and largest fortifications in Switzerland and was first mentioned in a document around 1090. It was the main castle of an influential aristocratic family who controlled the Hauenstein Pass, owned land from Zofingen to Liestal and were the founders of Olten. The Froburgers advised the German emperor, went on crusades and ran a feudal court. In the 13th century they ran out of money and sold the castle, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1356. For centuries, the ruins belonging to the canton of Solothurn remained overgrown by the forest until the first excavations took place in 1906. Between 1973 and 1977 it was restored and exposed by young volunteers.
