Laufenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Laufenburg is a beautifully preserved and well-maintained knight's castle from the 12th century. Amazingly, over the centuries it only changed hands through inheritance or purchase, not through military conflict. The castle was not damaged until the 20th century, but was partially destroyed in the Second World War.

After the war it was lovingly restored and today you can take a break on your hikes in a traditional restaurant in the idyllically situated castle.

A cold was slowly spreading. Sometimes fresh air helps - in this case unfortunately not. The hike itself was great. Beautiful weather, beautiful paths and then a visit to a good friend and her dachshund puppy. A successful day

A short but nice tour with mixed paths takes you from the sports field through mostly deciduous forest. Many areas have been cleared where coniferous forests once stood. The highlight of the round is the Laufenburg, where it's worth stopping for breakfast (with advance order), lunch and coffee...

The weather was kind to us again today. On the short hike the sun appeared every now and then and gave us beautiful views and impressions. We reached Laufenburg at lunchtime and after reading the menu we decided to stop here soon. We still had to visit the Christmas market. To pass the time until entry, we visited the pottery …
