May 25, 2026, Leibstadt Village Water Stop

The water source in the village of Leibstadt is perfect for briefly refilling water bottles on the tour. Practical stop in the middle of the village, especially on warm days along the Rhine route.

Chelati makes fantastic ice cream – definitely worth trying. They now also offer various filled pastries (empanadas) and Argentinian stew. A small, friendly family business with a pleasant atmosphere.

Laufenburg was first documented in 1173, when the monastery in Säckingen granted the town as a fief to the Habsburgs. The first documented mention of Loufenberc dates back to 1207; the place name means "mountain near the waterfall, near the whirlpool, near the rapids" (Wikipedia).
