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.

At 859 meters, the Burghorn is the highest point on the Lägerngrat. From here, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views: to the south over the Limmat Valley to the Alps 🏔️, and to the north into the Surb Valley and the Aargau Jura 🌳 – a perfect place for a break with a view!

Habsburg Castle is the cradle of the Habsburg dynasty. This is where it all began. Today, the castle is home to a great restaurant that takes up most of the castle's rooms. The complex is therefore open all year round and can be visited free of charge. However, you won't find an extensive museum or dozens of rooms here. Only the palace (tower) and the outdoor area, including the outer castle ruins, can be visited. A small shop at the sod fountain offers the opportunity to buy souvenirs, books and the like. You can even rent VR glasses that show the viewer virtually what the Habsburg once looked like. The view from up here is breathtaking, by the way. Autumn in particular has its colorful advantages. The castle can also be easily reached by car. There is a sufficiently large parking lot. Anyone who is out and about as a hiker or biker will get their money's worth in terms of the route.
