Intro

In addition to its spectacular views, Laufen Castle offers a variety of restaurants and attractions. This makes the castle the perfect starting point for marveling at the Rhine Falls.

A visit to Laufen Castle offers a truly spectacular natural sight. From the castle, you can see the imposing Rhine Falls—the largest waterfall in Europe.

Laufen Castle offers unforgettable attractions. The Historama traces the history of this 1,000-year-old castle. You can get very close to this natural spectacle via the Belvedere Trail, which leads from the castle to the Rhine Falls. The trail ends at the “Känzeli,” which offers a unique view. You can return to the castle via the Panorama Lift.

Inside the castle itself, there are three restaurants where you can dine. You can choose from a self-service restaurant, a children’s restaurant, and an à la carte restaurant. The romantic candlelight dinner in the glass elevator offers a special experience. While enjoying a hearty meal, you can take in the fantastic view.
