May 31, 2026, View of Swiss Laufenburg from Baden Laufenburg

From here, there is a beautiful view of the Swiss town of Laufenburg with its historic buildings directly on the Rhine. Especially the location of the old town on the river makes this viewpoint a worthwhile photo stop during the tour.

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.

Between Sisseln and Laufenburg, you can walk the Via Rhenana (Rhine Route, Path No. 60) in 2 ways. While the riverside path runs directly at river level, the embankment path is an option at higher water levels. It is also significantly narrower and always leads along in a gentle up and down in the middle section of the embankment. The embankment path also impresses with its diverse vegetation (old trees, ferns (e.g. hart's-tongue fern), spring flowers (e.g. fumeworts, anemones)).

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).

Laufenburg is a small but beautifully preserved town right on the Rhine. There isn't a huge amount to see, but what there is is lovely.

The elevated location of Laufenburg in Baden, especially from the "Kriegerdenkmal" (War Memorial), the "Schlössle" (Little Castle), and the "Kirche Heilig Geist" (Holy Spirit Parish Church), offers a fantastic view of the two Laufenburgs, the Rhine, and the surrounding countryside. An urban dream, surrounded by lush greenery.

A magnificent city set in a stunning setting, it has a wealth of history to offer. The old town is divided into a Swiss and a German section. The two halves share the city's name.
