Mint is already very diverse, but 108 different types at 1028 meters above sea level surprised me.

The castle cellar of Wangen Castle on the Aare River is located in the rear part of the building and can be rented for parties and events of all kinds. It accommodates approximately 50 people and can be expanded to include the adjacent castle courtyard. The venue is a visual delight that exudes charm. Ample parking is available right next to the castle cellar.

From the jetty, the wide Aare River is reminiscent of the Amazon. At each end, there are seating areas for relaxing breaks. A spacious barbecue area also invites you to enjoy a fiery barbecue.

Oberbipp Castle with beautiful surroundings. The castle itself is privately owned and therefore cannot be visited. The Oberbipp municipality's coat of arms depicts three linden trees, one of which stands in a meadow away from the castle.

This is an unmarked trail and is not really a KS or VF as it only has a rope, a ladder and a few wires, the upper part is just a grade I (T3) scramble but coming down might be grade II (T4) with all the loose slippery rocks so not recommended in the wet. My guess is about 80m vertical more or less.
