Kyburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

After the easy ride along the Töss, the climb to Kyburg begins. A steep 160 meters in altitude! But the effort is definitely worth it, because the castle of the same name, which was first mentioned in 1027, sits at the top of the rocky spur. If you don't feel like taking a history lesson, you can take a break in one of the restaurants or look forward to the upcoming, rapid descent.

Impressions around Kyburg

Highlight • Settlement

It's not just the castle with its viewpoint that's impressive in Kyburg. The entire village is extremely picturesque and worth a visit.

December 3, 2024,Ettenhusen - First - Kyburg
That went really well again as far as the legs were concerned, and of course it felt really good again - as always.
I was still thinking about the 🐺, where we had heard that one had once again immigrated to the canton of Zurich - from the canton of Zug... over the Sihl - so it would have been …
