ツォフィンゲンの洞窟・トップ7

ヴァルトブルク＝セーリ城は、オルテンの上の森林に覆われた丘の上に位置し、アーレの景観を一望できます。中世の城ではなく、19世紀にネオゴシック様式で建てられた小さな城です。 現在、この場所はレストランや遊歩道があり、人気の観光地となっています。特にハイカーは、その静かなロケーションと街への近さを高く評価しています。

If you don't want to go to the Sälischlössli, you can take a leisurely rest here.

Old town relatively deserted on Sundays.

The Wartberg has two castle complexes. The Neu Wartburg, today called Sälischlössli, is located on the northern peak, and the Alt Wartburg on the southern peak. The Alt Wartburg may have had a previous building from the 11th century. In the first half of the 13th century, the lords of Ifenthal built the castle, which is still in ruins today. The multi-storey residential tower of the lord of the castle and his family rose to the north. To the south was a walled courtyard with outbuildings. Access to the castle was via a rock path around the south side of the castle rock. The castle was later rebuilt. A transverse wall was built inside the residential tower and a mezzanine floor was built in the basement. A new filter cistern was built in the yard. Source: information board

middle Ages The tower was built between 1361 and 1363 by the Counts of Habsburg under Duke Rudolf IV of Austria. It served as a cornerstone of Zofingen's city wall and as a powder, armory and torture chamber. The Powder Tower was one of six main towers until it was softened in the 19th century, including the Water Tower, the Mint Tower and the Torture Tower. There are only a few documentary records of the history of the tower, as many documents were lost in the town fires. Todays use At the end of the 19th century, the lowest floor was rented out as an ice cellar, the upper floors remained unused due to rotten stairs and served as a shelter for pigeons and bats. In 1948, the artillery club in Zofingen and the surrounding area rented the tower and had to assume certain maintenance obligations. First there was an exterior and roof renovation, followed by an interior renovation that lasted until 1951. After a second expansion phase from 1977 to 1978, another exterior renovation took place from 1980 to 1981. In 2001, the kitchen and toilet facilities were renewed. Today, the powder tower with the powder tower room is one of the most important cultural assets in the city of Zofingen. The Pulverturmstube can be rented for events with a tower attendant present at the Zofingen Artillery Club and offers space for 30 people.

The ascent to the right via the hiking trail is very steep and fun. Unfortunately, you can't see much of the Schlössli itself and you have no view. One of the fronts is quite nice though. Access to the restaurant in the Schlössli is limited in time. The Schlössli is nice to look at from afar, e.g. from the Alt Wartburg.

Imposing historic walls, definitely worth a visit

A dreamlike journey through time to the place where the Aare flows backwards. You absolutely must have seen the Aarewoog. Stroll through the alleys, past the incredibly imposing buildings and let yourself be enchanted! A stop at one of the restaurants such as the venerable Bären is simply part of a tour of Aarbig, as the locals call the town.
