Beautiful viewpoint overlooking Laufenburg and the Rhine. After the climb, a short break is worthwhile to enjoy the view of the old town and the river valley. In clear weather, the view extends far beyond the surroundings.

Great view from the bridge over the Klingnauer Stausee – vast expanses of water and an impressive natural backdrop directly below you.

A quiet, secluded, and very popular pilgrimage site in Leuggern. Open 24 hours a day. Public restrooms are available on site. The grounds feature a well-maintained garden with benches.

Laufenburg was first documented in 1173, when the monastery in Säckingen granted the town as a fief to the Habsburgs. The first documented mention of Loufenberc dates back to 1207; the place name means "mountain near the waterfall, near the whirlpool, near the rapids" (Wikipedia).
