Tips from the Community
Feldschlösschen is the largest brewery in Switzerland and is considered a landmark of Rheinfelden. It was founded in 1876 by Theophil Roniger and Mathias Wüthrich. The striking, castle-like brewery building developed over time into one of Switzerland's most famous industrial monuments. Today, Feldschlösschen combines traditional brewing artistry with modern production and belongs to the Carlsberg Group. In the so-called "Brauwelt" (Brewery World), visitors can discover the history of beer brewing, take part in guided tours, and learn more about the production of the different beer varieties.

The Roman theater of Augusta Raurica was built in the 1st century AD and is one of the best-preserved ancient theaters north of the Alps. It could seat around 10,000 spectators and was used for plays, speeches, and public events. Today it is once again used for concerts and performances.

An impressive Roman colony with many impressive excavations, two theaters... You can cycle past it, but only if you've been there before or will be returning in the foreseeable future.

Büren, Lupsingen, and the upper Basel region are visible; on a clear day, the Alps are also visible. However, Hochwald and Gempen are not visible from here.
