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.

Beserstein Castle Ruins, a popular destination for bikers, hikers, and joggers, offers a beautiful vantage point, a barbecue area, castle ruins, and two WWII bunkers. There's plenty to see and discover.

Very beautiful viewpoint above Villigen, with Alpine pointer, barbecue area, remains of an old castle and two bunkers. The view is fantastic when the weather is good! Viewing angle of around 270°.

Habsburg Castle is the cradle of the Habsburg dynasty. This is where it all began. Today, the castle is home to a great restaurant that takes up most of the castle's rooms. The complex is therefore open all year round and can be visited free of charge. However, you won't find an extensive museum or dozens of rooms here. Only the palace (tower) and the outdoor area, including the outer castle ruins, can be visited. A small shop at the sod fountain offers the opportunity to buy souvenirs, books and the like. You can even rent VR glasses that show the viewer virtually what the Habsburg once looked like. The view from up here is breathtaking, by the way. Autumn in particular has its colorful advantages. The castle can also be easily reached by car. There is a sufficiently large parking lot. Anyone who is out and about as a hiker or biker will get their money's worth in terms of the route.

Accessible via dozens of steps from the old town

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
