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).

Laufenburg is a small but beautifully preserved town right on the Rhine. There isn't a huge amount to see, but what there is is lovely.

The elevated location of Laufenburg in Baden, especially from the "Kriegerdenkmal" (War Memorial), the "Schlössle" (Little Castle), and the "Kirche Heilig Geist" (Holy Spirit Parish Church), offers a fantastic view of the two Laufenburgs, the Rhine, and the surrounding countryside. An urban dream, surrounded by lush greenery.

St. Martin's Church in Luttingen stands in the heart of the village on the southern edge of the Hotzenwald forest. It is likely that a building existed here as early as Roman times. A church in Luttingen was first mentioned in 1275. The church tower is probably the oldest part of the church and presumably dates back to the 15th century.

The Bürersteig Pass is located in the Jura Park Aargau. The Fricktaler Höhenweg runs over the 550 meter high pass and the hike to the Cheisacherturm is also signposted here. The pass is served by the B142 bus service from Gansingen and Remigen, the two villages north and south of the hill. Mönthal, which is also located at the foot of the Bürersteig and is often chosen as the destination for a hike to the Cheisacherturm, also has a bus service to the next largest towns in Aargau.
