Laufenburg is one of the "four forest towns" on the edge of the Hotzenwald and a German border town with Switzerland. On the Swiss side of the Rhine lies the district of Laufenburg AG (Aargau), which was separated from Lunéville in 1801 by the Treaty of Lunéville. Bridges have connected the two districts since the Middle Ages. In 1911, the modern Laufen Bridge was opened to traffic on the site of the older bridge, followed in 2004 by the High Rhine Bridge, which lies a little further up the Rhine.
