Bad Säckingen Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge, together with the cathedral, remains the landmark of Bad Säckingen.
When I consider that all traffic used to roll over this bridge, albeit in one lane and regulated by traffic lights.
Today it is hard to imagine what it was like.

Old town Laufenburg

Highlight • Historical Site

Laufenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1207. For centuries, fishing (Salme) and rafting were important industries in the town. In 1802 Napoleon ceded the Fricktal to the Helvetic Republic. The canton of Fricktal was created. But as early as 1803, the Fricktal was assigned to the newly founded canton of Aargau.

A very nice tour
But I bypassed the slow-up drivers a bit because it was very crowded

After checking to see if the main road was already closed while I was getting the rolls this morning, since the SlowUp Hochrhein officially starts at 10 a.m. and everyone was asleep at home, I immediately set off on my bike... comfortably to Bad Säckingen... but then it was 10 a.m. and everyone else drove off too, which became unbearable …
