The Frohburg town of Zofingen in the western tip of the canton of Aargau is known for its beautiful and intact old town with the moat gardens and for its "local mountain", the Heiternplatz, on which the big Heitere Open Air takes place every year. Description The old town got its current appearance in the 17th and early 18th centuries, when the medieval houses were gradually replaced by buildings in the Baroque style. The central landmark is the Zofingen town church, which has Romanesque and late Gothic parts of the building. During archaeological excavations, the remains of several previous buildings came to light, the first foundation walls were erected around the year 600. Numerous historic buildings have been renovated in recent years and now shine in new splendor. One of the focal points of all happenings in Zofingen is undoubtedly the pretty and unique old town, which is often one of the most beautiful in our country. 22 wells of Zofingen The old town of Zofingen not only impresses with its good condition, but also with its 22 flowing fountains. The best-known of these 22 fountains is the Niklaus Thut fountain, which was created in 1894 as a donation by the Swiss student association "Zofingia" to mark its 75th anniversary. But the Niklaus Thut fountain is far from the only one that has something to offer. Here are the guided tours

Imposing large church in the heart of the old town of Zofingen. The old town itself is also worth a detour, even if it is mostly on soft cobblestones, which of course messes up the Ø :-). The Stadtkirche Zofingen is a Reformed church building in Zofingen in the Swiss canton of Aargau. The three-aisled basilica in the Romanesque-Gothic style is considered the symbol of the city. Today's church building goes back to the founding of a canon's monastery by the Frohburgers at the end of the 11th century, which was dedicated to Saint Mauritius. Previous buildings can be traced back to the early 7th century. In the course of the Reformation in 1528, the monastery was dissolved. Today the town church is owned by the Evangelical-Reformed parish of Zofingen, which is part of the Reformed State Church of Aargau.

Water supply from Strengelbach since 1994 and thus probably the highest point of Strengelbach😊

An ancient oak tree, which must be several hundred years old, stands on the path to the Fennern. The Fennern can be found between Vordemwald and Bösenwil, Brittnau municipality. Even as a small boy I was impressed by the size of the oak tree. Even back then we needed five people to “measure” the circumference together. Shake hands with each other, stretch out your arms, lean against the tree and thus surround the tree. The ancient tree still fascinates me today. What has he probably already experienced???

Beautiful little town, where something is always going on. Saturdays in the morning is always market. There are museums, an animal park, the cheerful, a bird aviary, numerous trails in the forest, a health trail with various exercises, a cave in the forest and much more. The connection by train is great. With many connections you have to drive over Olten.
