オーバーロールドルフの洞窟・トップ15

The Black Tower is Brugg's proud landmark—imposing, mysterious, and steeped in history. Built in the 12th century to protect the Aare Bridge, it later even served as a prison. With its thick walls, its bay window overlooking the river, and the Roman stones in its foundation, it speaks of power, change, and centuries of city history—a silent sentinel at the entrance to the old town.

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.

Right next to the stone bridge stands the imposing Black Tower, the oldest building and landmark of the city, first mentioned in documents in 1238. The stones of the lower gate area come from the legionary camp of Vindonissa and are therefore even several hundred years older.

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

Accessible via dozens of steps from the old town

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

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

Wonderful ruin high above Baden.
