    Tips

    The whole area is very worth seeing and also offers an otherwise traffic-free way to cross the Rhine between Germany and Switzerland. So you can save the rather tedious crossing of Basel. On the Swiss side of Kaiseraugst offer several beautiful routes, on German side you can avoid in Wyhlen with the highway in the direction of Inzlingen the busy Federal Road 34.

      Beautiful area with one or the other easily accessible swimming.
      In the immediate vicinity of the Augusta Raurica Roman ruins.

        The Augst / Wyhlen barrage on the Rhine comprises the Augst and Wyhlen run-of-river power plants and the Augst lock.

        On the south side of the Rhine, just above the weir, the Ergolz flows, it also forms the border between the community Augst in the canton of Basel-Landschaft and Kaiseraugst in the canton of Aargau. On the north side of the Rhine is the community Grenzach-Wyhlen. Right in the middle of the weir, the border between Germany and Switzerland runs

          Quiet mood on the water

            A full-day excursion to the KW with a 200km journey may not be worth it, but the KraftWerk Augst is worth gold as a border and Rhine crossing.

              The water masses, especially after heavy rainfall, are impressive

                Interesting industrial object and beautiful river landscape behind the weir.
