View From the Bridge of Klingnau Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The reservoir was "discovered" by ornithologists as early as 1938, and since the early 1940s the number of observers flocking here, especially on weekends, has steadily increased. Over the years, more than 650,000 observations have been made in the archives of the Swiss Ornithological Institute in Sempach and by various private individuals.

Klingnau reservoir - observation tower

Highlight • Lake

The Klingnau reservoir is an artificially dammed lake in the Swiss canton of Aargau. It is located in the Jura north of the so-called water castle of Switzerland, on the lower reaches of the Aare just before it flows into the Rhine and between the town of Klingnau on the right bank and Böttstein and Leuggern on the left bank of the river.
It is nice to walk all the way around here. It is very good for walking with children and strollers. A lot of water birds can be observed here. Take a pair of binoculars with you. It is worth it.

Klingnau Hydroelectric Power Plant and Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

The Klingnau power plant (KRA) is a run-of-river power plant on the Aare, between the Aargau municipalities
Klingnau and Koblenz. The power plant is owned by the stock corporation Aarekraftwerk Klingnau AG, based in Klingnau.
The plant was built from 1931 to 1935 about 400 meters above the mouth of the Aare in the Rhine. Thus, the Klingnau power plant with its Klingnauer reservoir is the last barrage of the Aare. The building was heavily criticized during the crisis at that time, as domestic energy demand was already almost 100% covered.
In 2012, the canton of Aargaudie decided to reassign concession for the power plant. Two consortia applied for this. Finally, Axpo AG and AEW Energie AG were awarded the contract. Since 2015, these two companies have been the sole shareholders of the power plant as AG under the name Aarekraftwerk Klingnau AG.
