Always chain right

The Schrattenstein is a wooded mountain near Würflach, crowned by the romantic Schrattenstein ruins. From the summit and around the ruins, there are always magnificent views of the surrounding area and the Hohe Wand mountain. The castle ruins are freely accessible and lend the place a special, historic atmosphere. A worthwhile destination for a leisurely hike – especially beautiful in combination with the Johannesbach Gorge or the Andreassteig Trail.

The Schrattenstein Castle ruins sit perched on a rocky outcrop above the valley and offer magnificent views over the surrounding hills as far as the Hohe Wand mountain. The remains of the former hilltop castle are now freely accessible and invite exploration – with ancient walls, weathered stones, and a special, almost mystical atmosphere. A worthwhile detour for hikers who appreciate history and views in equal measure. It's particularly beautiful at sunset or as the destination for a circular hike through the Johannesbach Gorge or from the Andreassteig Trail.
