    Wildenburg ruins
    In the early 13th century, the Lords of Hünenberg built a residential castle on the spur high above the Lorzentobel, but it was abandoned after 200 years and later used as a quarry. In 1985 the ruins were saved from final decay and carefully restored. Since then, the Wildenburg has once again been an impressive and publicly accessible testimony to Baar's past. An exciting experience for castle and medieval fans!
    The worth seeing castle ruins with remains of the round tower, bering and palace are located on a promontory above the Lorzentobel, 3.5 kilometers east of Zug. At the parking lot at the western end of the Lorzentobel Bridge, the hiking trail branches off from the main road in a southerly direction. After around 20 minutes of hiking in steep terrain, shortly after the beautiful Schwarzenbach waterfall, you reach the ruins.

    The castle area is freely accessible. Please pay attention to the barriers (danger of falling).

    Free parking spaces on the Zug-Menzingen main road, 300 meters northwest of the castle.

      There is a small barbecue area within the Wildenberg ruins, so you can have a barbecue in a historical atmosphere.
