Tips from the Community

Targi
April 29, 2026, Ruines du château du Vorbourg

The Vorbourg ruin towers above Delémont and offers an impressive view of the valley. The medieval castle was probably built in the 12th century and later abandoned. Today, remnants of walls and parts of the complex are still preserved. The site exudes a special, almost mystical atmosphere. Easily accessible via hiking trails, the ruin is a popular destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts. In combination with the nearby Vorbourg chapel, it makes for a rewarding excursion in the Jura.

The view from the top of the valley is breathtaking, and you can see far and wide. Just the right amount of time before the descent to Delémont.

This small bridge takes you over the Birs and into the Val Terbi.

According to the documents of the time, they were called the lower castle and the upper castle of Telsperg. It was only well after their abandonment that they took the name of Vorbourg from the now-defunct hamlet. They were inhabited by the knights of Telsperg, a family of minor feudal nobility, who later took over various responsibilities on behalf of the Bishop of Basel. The first mention of a castle only appears in a document from 1234. But from 1131, several knights of Telsperg are cited, mainly as witnesses. Located on the southwest ridge of the Soyhères pass, two buildings rose 150 to 200 meters above the Birs to monitor the passage of travelers.

Coming from the train station, cross the Birs. Tip: There is a restaurant with very good burgers at the train station (Holy Cow Gourmet Burger Co.)

Many small hiking trails along the La Sorne River invite you to go for a run.
