Steinhausen Castle with sculpture garden

Highlight • Castle

Very nice facility. Unfortunately, you can no longer enjoy the sun with delicacies in the idyllic castle courtyard, the restaurant is only for private parties! The old prayer house is worth a visit!

Very interesting round, so informative and varied. You can see a lot that had to do with mining here in the past, e.g. B. a lot of tunnel entrances.
But the highlight remains the sculptures by Shona Art.😍
Such great art in such a beautiful setting. 🤗

A beautiful and interesting route. There are signs about trees and mining everywhere. We ran part of the route twice. The round is actually “only” 4.5 km.

A walk through the Muttental valley with its mining history! Absolutely home territory, and extendable in length with a decent amount of elevation gain. Today was supposed to be a short, relaxed walk, so slow down ;-) I was particularly taken with the snails at Steinhausen Castle today. There's so much beauty to discover here. Nice little walk!!!
