If you're looking for a challenging and rewarding hike in the Jura region of Switzerland, you should visit the Spiegelberg Ruin, a medieval castle built on a steep, narrow ridge overlooking the Doubs valley. The castle was once the seat of the lords of Spiegelberg, vassals of the bishops of Basel. The hike involves climbing several rock-cut staircases, crossing wooden bridges spanning deep gorges, and admiring spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. The ruin is also a historical and cultural site, where you can learn about the history of the castle and the region.
