At 859 meters, the Burghorn is the highest point on the Lägerngrat. From here, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views: to the south over the Limmat Valley to the Alps 🏔️, and to the north into the Surb Valley and the Aargau Jura 🌳 – a perfect place for a break with a view!

The wooden footbridge was pulled into place by a fallen tree during the last flood. It is still not accessible.

When the water level is high, the jetty is often flooded. The water masses are raging! This time it hit the jetty. Damaged by a fallen tree trunk.

Here you are in the water castle area of Switzerland. A few meters downstream, the Limmat flows into the Aare. A few hundred meters upstream, the Reuss flows into the Aare. The Reuss and the Limmat flow into the Aare on the right bank. It is always nice to stop here, and every time you see a different picture.

You can step over this small bridge, switch off, watch the water masses... That's where the Limmat meets the Aare. The ducks that live here offer you a relaxed game with the rushing water. Like a kitty corner for the ducks!!! And for us an oasis of well-being. Welcome!

Really a very nice, but sometimes a strenuous tour. At least for people who don't hike that much. Really good shoes and a sufficient and good physical condition are important. Then you can go. It is interesting and in good weather there are MEGA GREAT views. There's also a lot of rest areas. All in all, SUPER BEAUTIFUL.
