ラウパースドルフの洞窟・トップ19

Neu-Falkenstein Castle is one of the most beautiful and largest ruins in the canton of Solothurn. The climb to the castle is rewarded with a wonderful view over the Balstahl Gorge, especially if you climb the keep.

A great starting point for the Aare River Trail. The train station is right next to the castle, and there's also free parking. For example, you can take the red train from here to Solothurn and hike back along the Aare River – a beautiful route!

The Balmfluh castle ruins are clearly visible from the trail. It's worth getting off your bike for a moment and taking a look at the old walls.

Despite its name, it is believed that the castle is older than Alt-Falkenstein Castle, located further down the valley on the other side. It was the seat of the Swiss noble Falkenstein family.

The Waldenburg ruins are the significant ruins of a high medieval hilltop castle or bailiff's palace above the town of Waldenburg in the Swiss canton of Basel-Landschaft. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruine_Waldenburg_BL

A climb that is worth it. Bring some time and enjoy the view and the beautiful barbecue areas. The climb up the tower is very narrow. It is best to leave large backpacks under supervision below. The castle is best enjoyed from Monday to Friday ;-) Built as a bailiff's castle in 1200 by the mighty Count of Frohburg. Spectacular views in all directions!

Enjoyed an easy DH via the old Balmbergstrasse
