Kaiserstuhl Castle and Bridge

Highlight • Castle

Pretty nice, if you on the German side in right away from the castle, down along the Rhine would continue, comes the outdoor pool and the campsite of Hohentengen. A ride roughly towards Eglisau is also possible for normal cyclists. On the Swiss side it goes left to the pier and a trail towards Eglisau. This way is nothing for cyclists; Mountain bikers who can not resist (prohibition), only suitable if you really know your bike. There, the path is sometimes so narrow that you could topple the 5m in the Rhine.

Schartenfels Castle Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

Before climbing the Lägerngrat, it's worth taking a break at the Schartenfels Castle Restaurant 🍽️🏰. With its sunny terrace and magnificent views over the Limmat Valley, it's the perfect place to refuel with a coffee or light lunch—in style and with a view—before heading up the narrow ridge path.

If you've never been to the Stein ruins, you should (have to) just climb the stairs and enjoy the wonderful view.

The other option is to hike in the direction of the Belvédère restaurant, and about 200m in front of the restaurant (walking from the city of Baden) you also have the option of reaching the ruins. A beautiful view over the old town of Baden and the whole area rewards our efforts several times.

The romantic town of Kaiserstuhl is always worth a visit. Beautiful beer gardens 🍻 of course invite you to do so. You can also hike well on both sides of the Rhine.
