View of Burg im Leimental Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

nice part to drive from Biedertal via Burg in the Leimental to Metzerlen. It goes up quickly but the landscape makes up for it. 😅

Biederthal Castle

Highlight • Castle

It's actually called Schloss Biederthal.
Built around 1250 by the Lords of Biederthal as a Habsburg fief, it later passed to the Bishop of Basel. In 1815 it was added to the Canton of Bern at the Congress of Vienna.

Alt-Biederthal Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Only a few remains of the castle walls remain, but the rocky outcrop is impressive and can be climbed with a little skill.

Most of the stones were then used for the nearby Biederthal Castle.
