The secret capital of the Swiss Confederation

What lies behind the "Berner Extrawurst"? Why did so many delegates from foreign powers flock to Baden in the 15th century? This city tour offers fascinating insights into Baden's turbulent history. In the 15th century, the city became a political hub as the Confederates expelled the Habsburgs, making Baden an important location for the Federal Diet for 300 years.
Two impressive witnesses of this era are visited: Stein Castle and the historic Diet Hall in the Town Hall. The ascent to the Stein ruins offers a breathtaking view over the city-a highlight that connects history with the present.
