Exploring castles with the family

The castles Habsburg, Wildegg, and Lenzburg are well known. But what lies behind them and how do children experience the past of the Habsburgs and patricians? A hands-on journey through time.

At the start, deviate from the route to visit the Königsfelden Monastery in the neighboring Windisch. Its magnificent windows have made it famous throughout Europe.

Then drive through the cooling forest up to Habsburg Castle. There you will learn more about what was once the most powerful noble family in Europe. An informative audio play guides you through the castle complex and reveals surprising facts. At the restaurant with a spacious terrace, you are invited to refresh yourself. The relaxing descent follows in Lupfig, past Möriken and a short stretch to Wildegg Castle. The patrician family Effinger shaped the unique castle domain with gardens, vineyards, forest, and manor.

The final section leads you to the hilltop castle, Lenzburg Castle. In the attic of the former knights' castle, little guests may draw, play, and dress up as princesses or knights. Additionally, Fauchi, the dragon child, looks forward to every visit.
