As this is our home canton, for us, the pretty castle is practically in the neighbourhood!<\/p><p>Hence, we decided to try out the hike on bright Sunday afternoon. This is ideal since we did not want to travel too far. This turned out to be an excellent idea!<\/p><p>On our drive up to the castle, we were impressed by how beautiful and elegant it looked. The castle is wonderfully restored and settled on stunning premises. It is surrounded by perfectly shaped tress, nicely cut green lawns, vineyards and immaculate gardens. A true fairy-tale castle!<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/COVER-PICTURE-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2214 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/COVER-PICTURE-1024x472.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/COVER-PICTURE-1024x472.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/COVER-PICTURE-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/COVER-PICTURE-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/COVER-PICTURE-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/COVER-PICTURE-2048x945.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Wildegg Castle was built by the Habsburgs in the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century and later owned by generations of the noble Effinger family.<\/p><p>Today the castle is a residential museum that offers an authentic experience of its aristocratic history.<\/p><h3><strong>Don\u00b4t miss visiting the castle! <\/strong><\/h3><p>Before you start your hike, we suggest to visit the amazing Wildegg castle. Regrettably, we missed to do just that as we arrived too late after our hike. What a pity!<\/p><p>We will return, however, to catch up on that, as the castle and surrounding gardens have a lot to offer. Visitors are greeted by lords and ladies and former castle inhabitants provide informative insights into the patrician castle life. Furthermore, the vegetable, pleasure and ornamental gardens provide around 300 ancient cultivated and medicinal plants. At least that`s what we heard and read. At this point I must mention it again, don\u00b4t forget to check the opening times of the castle in advance!<\/p><p>Luckily, the beautiful rose gardens were still available to visit, along with the organic produce farm. Hence, we could at least get an idea of the outdoor aristocratic life back then. In addition, we enjoyed a delicious organic ice cream from the onsite farm shop after the hike. This made up a little for the missed museum experience.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Rose-garden-Wildegg-Castle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2239 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Rose-garden-Wildegg-Castle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Rose-garden-Wildegg-Castle.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Rose-garden-Wildegg-Castle-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Rose-garden-Wildegg-Castle-768x354.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p><h3><strong>Hiking in Aargau | Let\u00b4s get started!<\/strong><\/h3><p>Nonetheless, simply visiting the grounds and surroundings already put us in the right spirit to commence our walk.<\/p><p>We left the wonderful rose gardens behind us and walked straight ahead towards the forest.<\/p><p>The lawns on our right were very inviting to sit down and relax.

Therefore, I concentrated rather on other interesting information.<\/p><p>Such as: The Chestenberg extends over a length of three kilometres and reaches a height of 647 metres above sea level. Hence, the word \u201chill\u201d might be more appropriate, considering the Swiss scales of mountains.<\/p><p>Furthermore, there are two castles on the flanks of the Chestenberg: Wildegg castle (which we know already) and Brunegg castle (which we will get to know later).<\/p><p>Also, a prehistoric site from the Bronze Age can be found on Chestenberg! Now, that\u00b4s really cool!

As it is often the case with castles, it might have been built as border defences. Subsequently, the castle was occupied by the Habsburg knights.<\/p><p>You can of course read up on a lot more historic information on the web if you are interested.<\/p><p>Brunegg castle, however, is privately owned by the von Salis family and cannot be viewed, unfortunately.<\/p><h3><strong>The way back to Wildegg<\/strong><\/h3><p>Our return journey led us on a wide forest path and through the outskirts of the residential area of M\u00f6riken.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/The-way-back.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2248 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/The-way-back.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/The-way-back.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/The-way-back-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/The-way-back-768x354.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Here we got to know another interesting fact. Not every lovely looking flower is as lovely as it seems.<\/p><h3><strong>About invasive neophytes<\/strong><\/h3><p>Doesn\u00b4t this flower, called \u201cEinj\u00e4hriges Berufkraut\u201d (Erigeron annuus) simply look pretty?<\/p><p>Unfortunately, despite looking utterly innocent it is rather harmful and therefore blacklisted.<\/p><p>The flower is categorized as a \u201cneophyte\u201d. Neophyte is the name for plants that have been intentionally introduced or accidentally introduced since the discovery of America (1492).<\/p><p>Literally translated, \u201cneophytes\u201d mean \u201cnew plants\u201d. Around 550 species have settled in Switzerland!!! The majority of these alien plants are luckily well integrated into our environment and have enriched the local flora.<\/p><p>A few of the new plants can become invasive, however. These plants are called \u201cinvasive neophytes\u201d. They spread widely and displace the native flora.<\/p><p>Regrettably our lovely camomile look-alike plant belongs to the invasive kind, which is why you might find signs along your hiking route inviting you to help the environment by ripping it out with the roots! And this is exactly what we did!<\/p><p>On a side note, should you, like me, place them in a vase on your dining table, be prepared for a lot of tiny little petals to fall out and spread all over the area. Quite a mess, I have to admit.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Helping-by-ripping-the-neophytes-out.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2251 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Helping-by-ripping-the-neophytes-out.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Helping-by-ripping-the-neophytes-out.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Helping-by-ripping-the-neophytes-out-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/todayisagoatday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Helping-by-ripping-the-neophytes-out-768x354.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Having done our share in supporting the Swiss environment by ripping out the dreadful pretty plants, we felt quite satisfied.<\/p><h3><strong>From invasive neophytes to popular sunflowers<\/strong><\/h3><p>From here, we happily walked back to Wildegg castle to pick up our car. And a well-deserved ice cream! On our way back, we passed by a wonderful sunflower field.<\/p><p>What a shift!
