Luckily, there's this bike path, so you don't have to ride on the busy road. Tip: Coming from Winznau, you have to climb up to the road at the end. Downshift, downshift

Despite its name, it is believed that the castle is older than Alt-Falkenstein Castle, located further down the valley on the other side. It was the seat of the Swiss noble Falkenstein family.
