Hiking

The Reuss Weir near Windisch is a striking structure on the lower reaches of the Reuss River, just before its confluence with the Aare. It is part of the Windisch power plant, which was built around 1916 and harnesses the hydropower of the Reuss River. The weir regulates the water flow and is accessible via a concrete footbridge.
