Ruins of Radegg

Ruin

👍👍 Die Burg zu finden ist schon eine kleine Meisterleistung,der Aufstieg anspruchsvoll, wird aber mit einen tollen Ausblick und einer interessanten Ruine belohnt! Bei der Burg handelt es sich in erster Linie um einen ehemaligen Palas mit Halsgraben und Resten einer ehemaligen Ringmauer!

Burg Friesenberg

Manegg Castle

Ruin

😐 There is nothing left except for the fountain and the walls. A nice place to chill, but not an absolute highlight. Nowadays there is a monument to te poet Gottfried Keller, a swiss poet, on top of it.
