You can step over this small bridge, switch off, watch the water masses... That's where the Limmat meets the Aare. The ducks that live here offer you a relaxed game …

The wooden footbridge was pulled into place by a fallen tree during the last flood. It is still not accessible.

When the water level is high, the jetty is often flooded. The water masses are raging! This time it hit the jetty. Damaged by a fallen tree trunk.

A special quarry in which someone has laid stone circles. There are some lovely fire pits where you can take a break. The quarry has a special aura, perhaps because of the stone circles.

Here you are in the water castle area of Switzerland. A few meters downstream, the Limmat flows into the Aare. A few hundred meters upstream, the Reuss flows into the Aare. The Reuss and the Limmat flow into the Aare on the right bank. It is always nice to stop here, and every time you see a different picture.
