Tips from the Community
The "Obere Tor" (also called Törli) is the landmark of Liestal and the rest of the medieval city fortification. The substructure was built in the first half of the 13th century, the subsequently added barbican had to make way in 1879 for traffic reasons. The tower has probably been painted since 1498/99, the current paintings are by local painter Otto Plattner from the years 1949/50 and show on the inside the Rütli oath and St. George the dragon slayer, on the outside Chronos and a warrior with a Swiss banner.

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 has developed over time into one of Switzerland's most famous industrial monuments. Today, Feldschlösschen combines traditional brewing art with modern production and belongs to the Carlsberg Group. The «Feldschlösschen Brauwelt» is particularly popular, where visitors can learn more about the history of beer brewing and take part in guided tours with tastings. The visitor centre is open Tuesdays to Thursdays from 10 am to 5 pm, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 7 pm, and on Sundays and public holidays from 10 am to 5 pm. Public guided tours take place several times a week; a tour including a beer tasting costs around CHF 20 per person. For spontaneous visits to the interactive exhibition, admission is CHF 15 including tasting.

This waterfall above Steinenbrügli is a wonderfully beautiful place. I went there a lot as a child because I lived nearby. The things I experienced there... There's also a small nature reserve with a canal running parallel to the Frenke (that's the name of the stream). There's so much to discover. Below the waterfall, about 50 meters away, there are gravel banks when the water level is low, which invite you to linger and enjoy the peace and quiet...🔆
