June 1, 2026, Aare River Floodplain Landscape

The flora and fauna of the Aare floodplain can be experienced and observed up close here. The large fish on the banks of the Aare are also clearly visible through the crystal-clear water. This stretch between Brugg and Schinznach Bad is indeed something special.
