スイスのヒルシュタールの洞窟・トップ20

美しい城と美しい景色、イベントもあり、雰囲気を際立たせています

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

Mostly coming from Trostburg, I always visit Liebegg and also visit the nearby sandstone caves

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

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 visit to the ruins of Alt Wartburg is worthwhile because from this small peak, which is located on Oftringer Boden, you can see Neu Wartburg, also known as Säli Schlössli (on Starkirch-Wil Boden), which is 150m away as the crow flies. There is a rest area by the ruins. In the middle of the 14th century, Alt Wartburg belonged to the Lords of Büttikon. This sold the estate to the Hallwylers in 1379. When the Confederates conquered the Aargau in 1415, the Bernese troops burned down the two Wartburgs. Old Wartburg was not rebuilt.

Privately, however, you can get a good glimpse of the complex through the fence.
