The Refugium Heidenburg is a refuge from prehistoric times. The castle site no longer shows any masonry, but topographically beautiful rocks and slopes together with a fireplace. Be careful with the abysses, the Nagelfluh can break off!

The Kyburg hut is a log hut made of round logs, very solid. Next to it a fountain, ideal for a break. Unfortunately this autumn a tree fell on the roof of the hut and tore a big hole in the ceiling.
