The first Aare bridge near Stilli was built in 1903 by the canton of Aargau. Renewed and widened in 1970. In the 13th/14th century, a bridge already crossed the Aare near Freudenau Castle (approx. 200 meters upstream).

Pleasant gradient, easy to manage. Beware, we are not alone on the road. Especially when going downhill. The route is also popular with motorcyclists and cars, especially on weekends and holidays when the weather is nice.

The historic city gate is one of Laufenburg's striking landmarks and recalls the long history of the old town. Anyone who passes by here is immediately immersed in the medieval flair of the charming Rhine town.
