    Hiking

    There is a beautiful walking path around the entire castle hill, so you can walk around it and even cross it.

    "The castle Werdegg was apparently burned in the Old Zurich War around 1444 and previously served first the lords of Werdegg, knights and councils in Zurich, later the lords of Landenberg of Werdegg, as the seat.

    The castle was the center of a considerable nobility and until the destruction in the mid-15th century seat of influential noble families, it represents the historic core of the community Hittnau. Today, only a wooded hill, offers the former castle from which no wall remains are visible , continues to be a starting point for the village's identity and imagination. "(hittnau.ch)

    Historical place, the moat is still very well preserved. The copper beech, which grows in the middle of the square and blooms red in spring, is special.
