Balmfluh Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Balmfluh castle ruins are clearly visible from the trail. It's worth getting off your bike for a moment and taking a look at the old walls.

The Balmfluhchöpfli can not be reached by car (luckily), so you do not walk around on your feet. The view is unique and impressive not only at the morning hour. …
