Fresh water - straight from the well.

In Rheinfelden, the water in all public fountains is of the best drinking water quality. It's worth taking a reusable bottle with you, because you can refill it at any time when you're out and about. Good for your health and the environment! The Rheinfelden drinking bottle can be purchased at the tourist office - a perfect souvenir.

Event tip: Sebastiani fountain singing
On the evenings of December 24 and 31, twelve men dressed in black parade through the dark Old Town with lanterns and sing at the public fountains. The ritual dates back to 1541 and is said to bring protection from the plague. The lights go out during the fountain singing and the streets fall silent - for a special, festive atmosphere in Rheinfelden
