July 17, 2025, Jagdburg Castle Ruins

The ruins sit atop a wooded hill above Niederstocken and are a quiet, historic spot with beautiful views of the Stockental valley and the Stockhorn mountain range. Highlights: ✅ Remains of the medieval castle complex from the 13th century. ✅ Beautiful vantage point over the valley and into the Bernese Oberland. ✅ A short, exciting detour during hikes or bike tours.

The toilet is no longer behind the house; now there is a ToiToi, which is well secured against flying away :-)

As far as I know, this climb is closed due to unsafe slope conditions.
