ジッサッハでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

リューネンベルガー・ギーセンの上には、小さな水たまり（グンペン）のある居心地の良い場所があり、夏には足を冷やすのに最適です。昔も近所の人たちが泳ぎに来ていました。グンペンの上にはバーベキュー場もあり、下にはギーセンまで降りていくことができます。

上記は上部の滝、「リューネンベルガー・ギーセン」の説明です。ここでは水がアーチ状の岩壁を18m落下し、下部に堂々とした石灰華のピラミッドを形成しており、水位に応じて水流が轟音を立てて泡立ちながら飛沫を上げています。冬には、氷点下の気温で魅惑的な氷柱の造形が現れます。滝の上には、かつて水浴びができた「Löligumpi」があります。少し下流には、小さなギーセンがあり、こちらも美しい凝灰岩の円錐があります。

The Castle Linden Tree: A large-leaved linden tree approximately 450 to 500 years old. Its trunk is hollow, held together at a height of about three meters by steel cables. The trunk, which measures over 9 meters in circumference, supports three thick main branches. A plaque screwed to the tree provides further information: According to tradition, the linden tree was planted to commemorate the siege of Farnsburg Castle before the Battle of St. Jakob an der Birs (1444). Its age is uncertain, but dendrochronological analyses have revealed an age of approximately 500 years.

I took a small detour through the forest so I wouldn't have to walk in the blazing sun. Wonderful and truly fascinating paths, though some are quite steep. Still, the view from the top of the tower is worth it; outstanding! (The coin box for entry is in the archway at the entrance—I couldn't resist it and, of course, gave a large coin!) On the way back, I also recommend taking path 4 instead of the busy road—along the tank barriers, including a seating area about halfway along the path.

Visible from afar, the walled church complex of St. Nicholas towers over Oltingen. St. Nicholas was first documented in 1296, and the current building dates back to the late Gothic period. During renovations in 1956, magnificent frescoes were discovered and beautifully restored. They depict, in particular, stories from the life of the church's patron saint, St. Nicholas of Myra, and the Virgin Mary. The building complex includes the rectory, also Gothic, with an adjoining, smaller ossuary dating from 1517. Adjacent to the north is the rectory barn, built in 1710.
