A Journey through Time to the<br />
Days of Knights and Castles<br />
We journey back to a time many moons ago but one that seemed very<br />
close in our childhood. The Castles Path starts at the iron knight at<br />
Zweisimmen railway station and takes you through historical landscapes<br />
to Castle Mannenberg and the church district in Zweisimmen. It is a path<br />
full of history, which connects your personal memories with fascinating information<br />
about those times.<br />
