Dolivo Platform (viewpoint over the Rhine fish ladder)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The small viewing platform that protrudes over the banks of the Rhine is perfect for a short break. In order to enable the fish to cross over the weir of the power station, a fish ladder was created here, from which other weirs could cut a good portion - the artificially created, yet natural-looking side arm of the Rhine meanders over almost a kilometer. If in doubt, you could even circumnavigate the weir in a kayak.

Rheinfelden Old Town (Switzerland)

Highlight • Historical Site

Rheinfelden - The oldest Zähringer town in Switzerland
The town with great memories! The oldest Zähringer town in Switzerland is located directly on the quietly flowing Rhine. The historic old town enchants with large and small sights, open splendor and hidden gems.
Well-preserved remains of the former ring wall with the Messerturm, the Storchennestturm and the Obertorturm still surround parts of the old town today. The narrow streets with their picturesque corners and their meaningful names such as Rumpelgasse, Futtergasse, Kuttelgasse and Geissgasse will surprise you.
A tour of Rheinfelden - where should you start with all the large and small sights, the open splendor and the hidden gems that the Rheinfelden old town has to offer? A good starting point is the town hall, centrally located on Marktgasse, with its massive tower. The town hall has a magnificent baroque façade and a very beautiful inner courtyard.
Stroll up Marktgasse and turn left at Albrechtsplatz to the Johanniter Chapel. Go through the small gate to the banks of the Rhine, which suddenly flows majestically in front of you, look downstream at the city skyline and see for yourself: the builders of this beautiful city had taste!

Old Rhine Bridge, Rheinfelden

Highlight • Bridge

Rhine Bridge "Border crossing between the two Rheinfelden"
The old Rhine Bridge is a Rhine and border crossing between the two Rheinfelden. Crossing is only permitted for pedestrians, bicycles, mopeds, taxis and the local bus.
From the ferry to the bridge.
There was already a ferry in the area of today's bridge during Roman rule. The Zähringers, who expanded the market town of Rheinfelden into a town, also had a ferry connection across the Rhine. It ensured the connection to the road to the Zähringen possessions in Breisgau.
The first bridge was probably built in the second half of the 12th century, because in 1198 a citizen of Rheinfelden was referred to in a document as Heinricus de Ponte (Heinrich von der Brücke). It was therefore the oldest bridge between Constance and Strasbourg, even before the middle bridge in Basel, which was built in 1225.
Pedestrian bridge.
Except for taxis and the local bus, cars are no longer allowed to use the bridge. The crossing over the Rhine and the entire old town is reserved for bicycles at walking pace and pedestrians.
The Rhine bridge offers a wonderful view of the old town facades and the Park Hotel on the Rhine.

House Salmegg

Highlight • Historical Site

Haus Salmegg Rheinfelden (Baden)
One of the oldest buildings in Rheinfelden, Haus Salmegg, is located directly on the Rhine. Once home to the city museum, the first floor now hosts changing special exhibitions from the cultural office.
Haus Salmegg was built in 1824/25 by the entrepreneur Franz Joseph Dietschy as a summer residence for his wife Anna-Maria. In 1942 it became the property of the city, and in 1988 the municipal housing association acquired it.
Haus Salmegg has been used as a gallery since 1989. It also housed the city museum until 2017.
