Check the exact position—otherwise you'll be standing on a building site and won't be able to see anything of the castle.

How wonderful to be able to jump into the water in summer temperatures and have a pebble beach. Herons, fish, dragonflies, tadpoles – pure nature ☺️

It's not just the castle with its viewpoint that's impressive in Kyburg. The entire village is extremely picturesque and worth a visit.

Currently, logging is underway on this section, making it difficult to navigate, with lots of debris, but you'll be rewarded with a great view later on. It's easier to avoid this section during this time (April 25).

Great views of the entire Tösstal valley. And if you've planned a tour to Hörnli, you'll see how far it still goes.
