Rheinfelder Rheinufer circular route
Discover the extremely diverse nature and information boards about the settlement history of the two Rheinfelden towns on the walk, which takes around a hundred minutes.
The most popular walking path.
Over the decades, a wonderful, attractive and exciting leisure activity has developed in this area between the old Rhine bridge and the footbridge at the power station: The Rheinufer-Rundweg. It runs along the banks of the Rhine and is a very popular hiking trail for locals as well as visitors from near and far. On this walk you can enjoy the extremely varied nature.
Special information boards provide interesting facts about the flora and fauna, various buildings and life here on the shared border.
Discover sister towns: Rheinfelden/AG and Rheinfelden (Baden)
The two towns of Rheinfelden could not be more different.
On the Swiss side, a town that has an eventful history behind it and has had a town charter for almost 900 years.
On the German side, a town that is still young and has grown in connection with the construction of the hydroelectric power plant.
And between the two towns flows the Rhine, which forms the common national border. Fortunately, the times when a border still had a divisive effect have changed. Today, the Rhine forms a connecting element that is reinforced by several bridges between the two towns.
