**WELCOME– to the land of counts, knights, and castles. To a time long past, yet one that was still very close during your childhood. The Obersimmental is a beautiful landscape with a historic heart. The two former castles on the Mannenberg and the church district Zweisimmen testify to its great importance. Historians suspect that already in the early Middle Ages a castle crowned the Mannenberg and served as the center of power when the Simmental still belonged to the Burgundian royal estate. At the Eisenritter by Zweisimmen station, a journey through time begins, leading you through a landscape full of stories. And when you finally reach Mannenberg, the restored ruins of Mannberg Castle reveal the world of the Middle Ages. 14 panels accompany you along the castle trail, enriching your personal memories with exciting information about the individual sites and buildings of that time.**
