Habsburg trail

The hike along the western slopes of the Kernberg and Chestenberg hills is one of the three stages of the Habsburgtrail. It leads directly to Wildegg Castle. You’ll wander in romantic forests through the former Habsburg dominion. Wildegg Castle, founded by Habsburgs, was later owned by the Effinger family for several centuries.
