スイスのバーデンの洞窟・トップ8

Baden's unexpectedly beautiful side!

The Freudenau Castle ruins are idyllically situated above the banks of the Aare River near Stilli and are a silent witness to medieval history. Built around 1240 by the Habsburgs, they once served to control the river crossing and as a transshipment point for goods. Today, the remains of the residential tower and the surrounding wall still survive. The ruins are freely accessible and easily accessible via hiking trails – a worthwhile detour for anyone seeking to combine nature and history.

Before climbing the Lägerngrat, it's worth taking a break at the Schartenfels Castle Restaurant 🍽️🏰. With its sunny terrace and magnificent views over the Limmat Valley, it's the perfect place to refuel with a coffee or light lunch—in style and with a view—before heading up the narrow ridge path.

Accessible via dozens of steps from the old town

Steps, steps and more steps. Once you reach the top you have a beautiful view of Baden.

The Iberghof (also called Ibergerhof) is a listed castle-like building in Mellingen's old town. It is located near the town church and the banks of the Reuss. The oldest part of the Iberghof dates back to the 13th century.

Freudenau ruins were built around 1240. The former lowland castle, then a small town, is located on the right bank of the Aare in the municipality of Untersiggenthal. It is freely accessible and has two barbecue areas with tables and benches. A quiet place to linger. You can walk all the way around the ruins. From the Aare side, there is a very beautiful tree with long and visible roots.

I like to come back again and again, quiet place for a little break
