Many kilometers of trails around the Geissberg and the large quarry, mostly flowig, rarely technical. But partly very exposed (not very noticeable when driving !!)

The castle has a nice fireplace and sometimes you can meet whole groups sleeping in the tent. The view of the moated castle (Aare, Limmat and Reuss) is great. If you look closely, you will find many of the remnants of the Second World War (bunkers, shelters, gunholes) with the children.
