Laufenburg is a beautifully preserved and well-maintained knight's castle from the 12th century. Amazingly, over the centuries it only changed hands through inheritance or purchase, not through military conflict. The castle was not damaged until the 20th century, but was partially destroyed in the Second World War.

After the war it was lovingly restored and today you can take a break on your hikes in a traditional restaurant in the idyllically situated castle.

April 13, 2025,Die 500. Komoot FAWG (fast alles was geht) Trail Tour 🤩☀️

Hello everyone,

My 500th Komoot tour!

Today had to be something special.

A tour with lots of trails. Almost everything that's possible. Unfortunately, cramming everything into one tour isn't possible due to the route. We did our best☺️

Optimal weather conditions and almost dry trails made the tour a great and accident-free experience.

Have a nice Sunday and best wishes!

October 26, 2025,Die Marien- & Karlsweg Tour 🍂

MTB Tour Around Jüngersdorf and Merode

Fridge-temperature felt like a refrigerator, wind force "hair gel was useless," and initial motivation was somewhere between autumn leaves and hibernation—but hey, I was outside!

Then in the forest: peace, leaves, fresh air... and trails that were practically stunned today. The forest smelled of adventure (and a wet jacket), my legs ached, my heart …
