ラーダースドルフの洞窟・トップ14

ヴォーブルク城跡はデレモンタインの上方にそびえ立ち、谷の印象的な眺めを提供しています。中世の城は、おそらく12世紀に建てられ、後に放棄されました。今日でも、壁の残骸と構造の一部が残っています。この場所は、特別で、ほとんど神秘的な雰囲気を醸し出しています。ハイキングコースで容易にアクセスでき、この遺跡は自然愛好家や歴史愛好家にとって人気の目的地です。近くのヴォーブルク礼拝堂と組み合わせることで、ジュラ山脈でのやりがいのある小旅行になります。

1934/35年には、城はすでにひどく荒廃していたに違いありません。そのため、ACVバーゼルは廃墟を取得し、スイス城協会と協力してユースホステルとして再建しました。失業中の若者たちは、自分たちの夢の城を建てました。今日、それは主にグループや学校のクラスが、いくつかの高貴な日のための拠点として利用しています。

The view from the top of the valley is breathtaking, and you can see far and wide. Just the right amount of time before the descent to Delémont.

Mörsberg Castle, sometimes called the "Alsatian Pierrefonds," contains impressive remains of the defensive structures surrounding its keep: the flanking tower, which defended the former lodge with several window openings, and the enormous vaulted cellar, more than 50 meters long.

Rotberg Castle is located on the recently signposted Castle Magic Route 114 and is worth every visit, especially for an overnight stay. Although the castle is a Swiss youth hostel, it can also be rented privately: for weddings, anniversaries, etc. The entire castle is also available with or without catering. It is closed during the winter months. The shared rooms have been recently renovated. For only two or a few people, it is best to contact the castle directly; the tower room for two, for example, is not listed online.

Now a Youth Hostel, but a cool place to visit and a nice castle

This 13th century castle, perched on the cliffs overlooking Mariastein, seems to come straight out of a fairytale. The building houses a youth hostel. It's a wonderful place to stay just 15 kilometers from the town of Basel.

According to the documents of the time, they were called the lower castle and the upper castle of Telsperg. It was only well after their abandonment that they took the name of Vorbourg from the now-defunct hamlet. They were inhabited by the knights of Telsperg, a family of minor feudal nobility, who later took over various responsibilities on behalf of the Bishop of Basel. The first mention of a castle only appears in a document from 1234. But from 1131, several knights of Telsperg are cited, mainly as witnesses. Located on the southwest ridge of the Soyhères pass, two buildings rose 150 to 200 meters above the Birs to monitor the passage of travelers.
