View of Aarburg Fortress

Highlight • Castle

Since 1988, the Aarburg Fortress has housed the Aarburg Youth Home, a home for male youth between the ages of 14 and 22.

Unfortunately, due to its current function as a youth home, the fortifications are not freely accessible. However, from spring to autumn, there are public guided tours through the historical grounds every Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

Ruppoldingen Hydroelectric Power Plant and Nature Restoration Area

Highlight • Structure

The power plant itself interests me less. But I think it's great what has been done here to give nature back a small piece of what was taken from it. Here you can gain insights into the most astonishing water worlds and are also clearly explained on information boards.

View of Aarburg Castle and Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Zweiturmkirche is uniquely situated. It stands in front of the fortress Aarburg high above the Aare and is therefore visible from afar.
