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.

A very beautiful photo opportunity: the last bridge over the Aare River. Here, after 292 kilometers, the Aare flows into the Rhine.

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).
