도넥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 동굴

1934/35년에는 성이 이미 상당히 쇠퇴했어야 했으므로 ACV Basel이 폐허를 인수하여 스위스 성 협회와 협력하여 청소년 숙소로 재건했습니다. 실업 상태의 젊은이들이 꿈의 성을 지었고, 오늘날 주로 그룹과 학급이 몇몇 왕족 같은 날을 위한 거처로 사용하고 있습니다.

Nothing remains of the Hilzenstein ruins today. They were located on the rock face, which was once accessible by a wooden ladder, but is now inaccessible. However, a beautiful sgraffito by the painter Theodor Ganz can be seen. He created it in 1940 while on duty at the observation post—out of boredom. The motif depicts a legend about a young poacher who, under a new moon, saw a snow-white stag with magnificent antlers. The smiling figure of a maiden perched on its back blinded him; he abandoned his plan but needed to rest his eyes. No sooner had he recovered than he set out again for the Hilzenstein ruins on a starry night. This time, he aimed at the white stag, which reappeared without the maiden, but after a flash of lightning, he lost his sight and died three days later.

In 1997, the cantonal government decided to undertake the necessary restoration and preservation measures at the castle complex to preserve its historic features. After two years of renovation work, the Dorneck ruins are once again open to visitors. The view from the tower over Basel and Dornach is breathtaking.

Rotberg Castle is located on the recently signposted Castle Magic Route 114 and is worth every visit, especially for an overnight stay. Although the castle is a Swiss youth hostel, it can also be rented privately: for weddings, anniversaries, etc. The entire castle is also available with or without catering. It is closed during the winter months. The shared rooms have been recently renovated. For only two or a few people, it is best to contact the castle directly; the tower room for two, for example, is not listed online.

Now a Youth Hostel, but a cool place to visit and a nice castle

This 13th century castle, perched on the cliffs overlooking Mariastein, seems to come straight out of a fairytale. The building houses a youth hostel. It's a wonderful place to stay just 15 kilometers from the town of Basel.

Very nice view

Although no longer in the original: the restoration for the sake of young people was a great thing!
