As always, when I chose a dilapidated castle as a tourist destination, I was looking forward to an interesting sight. Despite a wonderful tour from the region Brugg, where there are some with the ruins Besserstein, Freudenau, or Iberg some with the MTB easily accessible castles, I was very disappointed with the Urgiz. Andi has described her story very well, but she is NOT reachable with the bike! Even on foot, it is very difficult to reach over a narrow and dangerous ridge. Thus, I could only guess their place from the neighboring hill. Too bad.
