Transformer house in Oberflachs

Highlight • Structure

A very well-preserved and maintained Stromhüsli. You find them on the way again and again. One in Möhlin AG was converted into a residential building and is thus the smallest high-rise building in Switzerland.

Kasteln Castle

Highlight • Castle

Kasteln Castle is a castle in the municipality of Schinznach in the Swiss canton of Aargau. It is located west of the village on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by vineyards and forests. Today it serves as a school home for normally talented, behavior-sensitive students. The nearby castle Ruchenstein was demolished in 1643, when the Castle Kasteln was rebuilt into a castle.

Thalheim

Highlight • Settlement

Thalheim is the highest municipality of the Schenkenberg valley.
In the autumn, at the time of the Sauser-Freinächte, it is allowed to have a drink on three weekends until three in the morning. There are also Metzgete. Many a pig has to give his life for it. The animals are raised in Thalheim according to the rules of integrated production.
Thalheim has some particularly beautiful viewpoints. These include the ruins Schenkenberg and Zeiher Homberg. From the Gislifluh - the municipal border runs over the Krete, so you are already on Auensteiner soil - overlooked on Föhn days the whole Alpine chain. Toward the north, the view sweeps deep into the Black Forest.
