July 10, 2025, Schafisheim Castle

The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited. It is a small, late Gothic-style castle in the center of Schafisheim. It is the oldest castle building in Aargau, and was originally designed as a residential building rather than as a defensive structure.

A challenging pass in the Tafeljura, the climb is made up of a small road with a maximum gradient of 15% and little traffic. The scenery is very scenic, with magnificent panoramas along the way.

This path is used by pedestrians and cyclists in Aarburg to travel from the railway crossing on the old Zofingerstrasse to the Perry Center without using the main road.

The view from the Kreuzberg near Dagmersellen offers a wonderful view over the gently rolling hills of the Lucerne Mittelland. From here you can have a perfect view of the charming village of Dagmersellen and the surrounding fields and forests.

The Aare is canalized here, making its course even more peaceful. A bridge allows you to admire the river in its entire width.
