The ruins of Alt-Thierstein Castle are situated on a wooded ridge in the Laufental valley, near the border with the canton of Basel-Landschaft. This medieval castle was likely built in the 12th century by the Counts of Thierstein and served to control important trade routes. Today, remnants of the walls, the keep, and sections of the curtain wall are still visible. The site offers a beautiful view over the Laufental valley. The ruins are freely accessible and a popular destination for hikers and history enthusiasts.

Always worth a photo stop. Across the street, a lovely café invites you to linger and recharge before continuing your tour down to the Rhine, through the cobblestones of Laufenburg's 🇨🇭 Old Town.

Beautiful view from Laufenburg. You have to climb the rather steep hill, but the view is definitely worth it. Back down, reward yourself with an ice cream.
