Confluence of the Reuss and Aare

Highlight • River

The confluence of the Reuss and Aare rivers is located in the so-called "water castle of Switzerland," a unique river landscape in the canton of Aargau. Here, the three major rivers, the Aare, Reuss, and, a little further downstream, the Limmat, meet—a hydrologically significant location where water from around 40% of Switzerland's land area converges.

Reuss Weir in Windisch

Highlight • Monument

The Reuss Weir near Windisch is a striking structure on the lower reaches of the Reuss River, just before its confluence with the Aare. It is part of the Windisch power plant, which was built around 1916 and harnesses the hydropower of the Reuss River. The weir regulates the water flow and is accessible via a concrete footbridge.

Königsfelden Monastery and Its Stained-Glass Windows

Highlight • Religious Site

A tragedy was the impetus for founding the Königsfelden monastery: King Albrecht I was murdered here in 1308, and his widow and daughter Agnes of Hungary had the monastery richly furnished. Particularly noteworthy are the medieval stained glass windows.

The facility is open to visitors from April 1st to October 31st from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays are closed. You can find all information at museumaargau.ch/kloster-koenigsfelden.
