June 1, 2026, Aare River Floodplain Landscape

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.

A beautiful sight of the Aare's falling water masses. Very impressive at high water levels. It's always nice to stop here and observe this spectacle of the water masses.

A very interesting architectural solution. This suspended walkway was built beneath the railway bridge, intended for pedestrians and cyclists.

The Müllimatsteg bridge is truly an architectural highlight! Especially at night, when it's illuminated, it's clear how much thought the architects put into the lighting. For me, it's an absolute highlight. When you walk across the bridge, you can feel the vibrations of the bridge, whether someone is jogging or running at the other end. From the bridge, you have a beautiful view of the Casino Bridge and the Aare. Many hiking trails run along both banks of the Aare, some nice and wide and easy, others winding and root-filled, directly along the banks through the protected areas. You can also find a few barbecue grills on the military island. A popular excursion and recreation destination. Have fun!

For several years now, some fields near rivers in Aargau have been planted with rice. This is one of them. The frogs are enjoying it, too. Water snakes. Ducks... Stop and watch.

The Black Tower is Brugg's proud landmark—imposing, mysterious, and steeped in history. Built in the 12th century to protect the Aare Bridge, it later even served as a prison. With its thick walls, its bay window overlooking the river, and the Roman stones in its foundation, it speaks of power, change, and centuries of city history—a silent sentinel at the entrance to the old town.
