Hiking
The Ruppoldingen hydroelectric power station, built in 1896, was expanded in 1920 to include a pumped storage power station, whose water reservoir on the plateau of the Born was fed by a pressure pipe through which the water flowed to the turbine in the power station when there was high demand for electricity in the network.
After just a few years, the hydroelectric power station was temporarily unable to meet the electricity demand in the closed regional supply network. A connection with other power stations was not yet possible due to the isolated distribution of the power stations.

Hiking
The Born is bordered to the south and east by the Aare, to the north by the wide Dünnerntal and to the west by the gravel deposits in the Gäu. To the south, the Born falls relatively steeply towards the Aare, while the slopes to the west and north have less inclines. To the east, the ridge of the Born is separated from the Engelberg hill by the Klus von Aarburg. The ridge is almost entirely covered in forest.
