The Rabenatein castle ruins offer a beautiful view of Riedenburg. The ruin itself is also worth a visit. The ascent is a bit steep in parts and not without problems when it is wet.

Great place for a short hiking!

A great destination for a little trip. Sturdy shoes are essential. The walk from the nearby parking lot takes about 10-15 minutes at normal speed.

Vufflens Castle

Vufflens castle was built in 1425 on the site of a previous medieval castle by Henri de Colombier. It is the most significant example of a small group of fortified Romandy castles from the middle ages, characterised above all by its brick construction. In 1530, it was set on fire by Bernese troops. In 1641 it was acquired by the de Senarclens family. The castle is currently privately owned and cannot be visited.

A pleasant 30 minute-walk through the vineyards between Vufflens-le-Château and Denens, offers a stunning view of this magnificent castle, the lake and the Mont-Blanc.
