It may be nothing special for someone, but for others it is something special every day. Whoever keeps their eyes and soul open will always find something to find, to observe, to admire. If you have time to stop and enjoy the atmosphere, to observe the reflections on the water, to find fish in the Aare, to catch a glimpse of a duck family, to observe the bank plants - the diverse life all around... And it is a pleasure to be able to and be allowed to be here!

A historic castle mill from the 14th century is located right next to the "Hallwyl" castle. The mill is now a museum where guided tours are also held. There are plenty of parking spaces in the immediate vicinity (castle parking lot).

I also recommend this footbridge for a hassle-free crossing of the Reuss. It is gladly used by hikers as well as cyclists and joggers. Very beautiful view from the footbridge onto the Reuss and good connection to the many trails nearby. I particularly like the trail along the Reuss downstream on the right bank.

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.

Today the water was unfortunately very murky, so you couldn't see the fish

Nice restaurant. Super naturally for children, as there is a very large playground.
