Between Lake Constance and Basel flows the High Rhine, which here largely forms the natural border between Germany and Switzerland. The Aargau section lies between the small town of Kaiserstuhl and the former Roman metropolis Augusta Raurica (Kaiseraugst). Here, the river flows unhindered through the landscape over long stretches.
In Kaiserstuhl, it is worth exploring the historic old town. Let yourself be carried away on a fascinating journey through time, made tangible by historic alleys, charming squares, and well-preserved half-timbered houses, the rich heritage of this city.
The floodplain protection area "Chly Rhy" offers a great variety of habitats. Viewing platforms provide a clear view of nature away from the walkable paths. Here you can observe, make small and large discoveries, enjoy peace, stroll, research, and barbecue. The best way to access the habitats of the floodplain is on a hike. Many floodplain animals also go hiking: for example, frogs and toads from the hinterland seek spawning sites in sun-warmed ponds, and young beavers raised in the floodplain set out to conquer their own territory.
