Feldschlösschen is the largest brewery in Switzerland and is considered a landmark of Rheinfelden. It was founded in 1876 by Theophil Roniger and Mathias Wüthrich. The striking, castle-like brewery building has developed over time into one of Switzerland's most famous industrial monuments. Today, Feldschlösschen combines traditional brewing art with modern production and belongs to the Carlsberg Group. The «Feldschlösschen Brauwelt» is particularly popular, where visitors can learn more about the history of beer brewing and take part in guided tours with tastings. The visitor centre is open Tuesdays to Thursdays from 10 am to 5 pm, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 7 pm, and on Sundays and public holidays from 10 am to 5 pm. Public guided tours take place several times a week; a tour including a beer tasting costs around CHF 20 per person. For spontaneous visits to the interactive exhibition, admission is CHF 15 including tasting.

The Riburg Saltworks in Rheinfelden began operations in 1848. Its 32 employees specialize in the production of loose salt, primarily used as de-icing salt. This requires highly efficient distribution logistics, especially in winter; around 1,100 tons of salt are produced daily, and at peak times, up to 8,000 tons of salt are loaded. Some of this is transported by rail. This is a tradition at the Riburg Saltworks: The production facility has been connected to the railway network since 1875, when the Bözberg railway line was put into operation. To store the salt, the Riburg Saltworks has two gigantic wooden dome structures, unique in Switzerland: Salt Domes I and II. Together with the conventional storage halls, the two salt domes offer space for over 240,000 tons of salt. This would ensure Switzerland's unrestricted supply of de-icing salt even after twelve consecutive weeks of extreme winter (source: Saline.ch).

The view is dominated on the right by the Farnsberg hill, with the bright, light-colored ruins of Farnsburg Castle perched on its upper slope, visible from afar. A visit to the ruins is highly recommended. From up here, the view sweeps down to the village of Hemmiken and further into the Jura Mountains.

The Hauenstein Fortifications in the Baselbieter and Solothurn Jura formed the eastern northern barrier in Switzerland's defense during World War I. The chain of fortifications and defensive works is over 42 kilometers long and forms a protective semicircle around the railway town of Olten. It is embedded in a stunningly beautiful natural and hiking area.
