Hiking

Ruins of an island castle south of the Limmat, founded in the 11th century and remodeled several times up until the 14th century. Like Glanzenberg Castle on the other bank of the river, Schönenwerd was also destroyed by the Zurichers. The preserved foundations of the residential tower, palace, rampart and farm buildings are visible.
