フィッシュバッハゲスリコンの洞窟・トップ12

Brunegg Castle sits high on a rocky outcrop. It is privately owned and not open to visitors.

The steep, uncomplicated climb is worth it just for the great view of the Aargau Mittelland

The climb to the castle ruins is very narrow and very steep and so is the descent, but for my effort I once again satisfied my curiosity 🤣😂 and found that the ruins are still there

The gravel bike is easy to ride through and the Michaelisweg can be ridden without any problems.

Just across the street from Hallwyl Castle, the historic mill is clearly visible. It is open to the public and shows, in a historically beautiful way, how flour was once made from grain here. The stream that rushes past here via the lake, then over the castle, flows openly through the Mühlhaus. Since visitors usually only pay full attention to the castle, the pretty mill next door is somewhat lost. For that reason and because it is part of the history of Hallwyl Castle, I have included this place as a highlight. PS: Right next to the mill there is another building with a large glass front, in which an old barge from the 16th century is also on display, which is also open to the public. It was discovered in the castle moat during restoration work.

Steep ascent with two tight switchbacks up, difficult to change down with the rear wheel, but no problem. The castle was divided in two. On the southern crest of the hill, the highest point, there was a round tower, probably a keep next to a square palace. Today there is not much left to see.
