The Castle Wildegg, located on a rocky spur of the Chestenberg, consists at the core of a well-preserved castle from the 12th century with keep and Palas. In the 17th century, the castle was enlarged and rebuilt into a baroque residential castle. Castle owner Julie von Effinger died in 1912 without descendants. She bequeathed the castle with all the equipment and the associated domain of the Swiss Confederation, which gave the whole estate to the Swiss National Museum for administration. Since 2011, the castle domain belongs to a foundation established by the canton of Aargau and is managed by the Museum Aargau.

Aare Bridge near Brugg

Highlight • Bridge

The railway bridge was once created as an iron construction. She has kept her special character even after the expansion. Below the railway bridge, the pedestrian bridge leads through. From her you can see the Aare and the small island.

Railway bridge near Brugg

Highlight • Bridge

On the railway bridge near Brugg, the SBB's Bözberg line crosses the Aare west of Brugg city center. The large structure is one of the most important bridges in the Swiss canton of Aargau.

In the three middle fields, about halfway up the river pillars, a public footbridge hangs on two wire ropes stretched between the pillars.

The Aare Gorge in Brugg

Highlight • Gorge

The Aare Gorge in Brugg is 1400 m long. 15 m wide at the narrowest point, where it reaches a depth of 17 m and is therefore deeper than wide. The Romans already built the first bridges here that were protected from flooding. The houses in the old town are built directly on the rocks, making the gorge appear deeper. Always impressive to observe this integrated architecture of man and nature from the old bridge.

Mellingen–Brugg Cycleway

Highlight • Cycleway

This cycleway connects Mellingen with Brugg. From the Mellingen approach there is an easy steady 3-4% climb peaking at Birrhard and then flat all the way to Hausen where it then starts to descend to Brugg. With such a great well maintained cycleway, it is easy to understand why there is so much bicycle traffic on it.
