Leaning Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Leaning Bridge connects Baden with Ennetbaden. It is located near the Merciersteg or Finkensteg bridge, which is used exclusively by pedestrians and bicycles. Both bridges connect spa districts on both banks of the Limmat.
The Leaning Bridge, which owes its name to its leaning position, was opened in 1874 and from 2006 the frequency of motor vehicles was reduced.

The Niderhus was built in the 12th century as a counterpart to Stein Castle. Over the centuries it was rebuilt several times by different owners (Counts of Lenzburg, Counts of Kyburg, etc.) and has housed the Baden Museum since the beginning of the 20th century.

The wooden bridge in Baden

Highlight • Bridge

The covered wooden bridge is a very special gem of Baden and crosses the Limmat at its narrowest point, the Klus, between Schlossberg and Lägern. The two banks of the Limmat were first connected by a bridge at the Enge in the 13th century. The current wooden bridge has at least five predecessors, but all of them were destroyed over the centuries by floods, ice flows or acts of war. Until the high bridge was built, the narrow wooden bridge and the narrow slag heap served as the main traffic route. The design for the structure, which was built in 1809, was by the Laufenburg master builder Blasius Balteschwiler. He designed a beam structure that spans the 37-meter-wide river without pillars; the bridge itself is 39 meters long. After a year of construction, the bridge was opened in 1810.

Atrium Hotel Blume

Highlight • Monument

There is a lot on offer here, hotel, restaurant (the eye always eats here), or you can go to the in-house Roman baths with their own thermal spring, and only a few steps further to the new SPA area.
