Ideal for a Sunday outing, on foot or by bike. Right next to the tower, the café "backparadies.ch" can be recommended (it's open on Sundays). Very close to the tower, there is a large fountain to refill the (bike) water bottles ;).

The flora and fauna of the Aare floodplain can be experienced and observed up close here. The large fish on the banks of the Aare are also clearly visible through the crystal-clear water. This stretch between Brugg and Schinznach Bad is indeed something special.

Who would have guessed such a beautiful spot would be hidden behind this water protection wall? Certainly not me! A bench and trash can, and a beautiful view of the Klingnau Reservoir. It's very popular with young people, but rarely free in nice weather.

A silent witness to history, it's so silent that it goes unnoticed! Especially at the hydroelectric power plant. But we're in the border region, and there are many bunkers from the Second World War here.
