Ruine Dorneck

Saturday, March 22, 2008

We had seen this ruin overlooking the town of Dornach when we were taking the train back from an earlier hike. We decided today was a good day to head out and see if we could find our way to it, even though the weather predicted was not very promising. We took tram number 10 out to Dornach, and without much help from the Swiss trail markers, managed to wind our way up the hill through the town to the ruins.

On the way up through the town we saw the strange monumental Goetheanum building. It was hailing and raining as we were walking up past it, so I didn't stop to pull out the camera and take any photographs.

Unfortunately, while you could walk around the outer area of the ruins, the inner area was closed. The sign said something about being open mid-March, but it was already past that, and it was still closed, so we'll have to go back and see what we missed at some point. Maybe it will be nice enough to take some photos of the Goetheanum building too.
