Although the sun never showed itself, the view is beautiful.

The Riburg Saltworks in Rheinfelden began operations in 1848. Its 32 employees specialize in the production of loose salt, primarily used as de-icing salt. This requires highly efficient distribution logistics, especially in winter; around 1,100 tons of salt are produced daily, and at peak times, up to 8,000 tons of salt are loaded. Some of this is transported by rail. This is a tradition at the Riburg Saltworks: The production facility has been connected to the railway network since 1875, when the Bözberg railway line was put into operation. To store the salt, the Riburg Saltworks has two gigantic wooden dome structures, unique in Switzerland: Salt Domes I and II. Together with the conventional storage halls, the two salt domes offer space for over 240,000 tons of salt. This would ensure Switzerland's unrestricted supply of de-icing salt even after twelve consecutive weeks of extreme winter (source: Saline.ch).

Laufenburg was first documented in 1173, when the monastery in Säckingen granted the town as a fief to the Habsburgs. The first documented mention of Loufenberc dates back to 1207; the place name means "mountain near the waterfall, near the whirlpool, near the rapids" (Wikipedia).

Lovely place for barbecue

From the Ampfernhöhe to the Sennhütte

Shortest connection on the gravel forest path between Ampfernhöhe and Seenhütte.

Laufenburg is a small but beautifully preserved town right on the Rhine. There isn't a huge amount to see, but what there is is lovely.
