What is behind the "Bernese extra sausage"? Why did so many delegates from foreign powers flock to Baden in the 15th century? This city tour offers exciting insights into Baden's turbulent history. In the 15th century, the town became a political center when the Confederates expelled the Habsburgs and made Baden an important seat of the Diet for 300 years.
Two impressive witnesses to this era are visited: Stein Castle and the historic Tagsatzungssaal in the town hall. The ascent to the Stein ruins offers a breathtaking view over the town - a highlight that combines past and present.
