More Basel Hiking

Another day of hiking near Basel. This time we started in a town called Sissach (15 miles south of our apartment) hiked to Farnsburg, and then returned to Sissach where we started. About 4 hours all together. As opposed to last week, this hike had less steep inclines which made it easier, and less mud which made it more enjoyable. We enjoyed a lot of wide open scenery with plenty of green grass, hills, and trees. Once in Farnsburg, we visited another castle that sits on top of a hill. Although the castle is mostly in ruins, we were still able to climb the stairs in a very narrow column to the top where we had an excellent view of the surrounding areas. There are so many castles like this around here… just look to the top of a hill or mountain, and you’re likely to see one. Every castle has unique characteristics that always make it fun to see. Also, hiking up the hill makes it all worth it! You can see our pictures of the castle and the hike here.
