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).

Fridolin's Minster is the landmark of the town of Bad Säckingen and is dedicated to Saint Fridolin of Säckingen, a missionary presumably of Irish origin who founded various monasteries in the Alemannic region in the 6th century. Fridolin's Minster was the collegiate church of the Säckingen Convent and is today the main church of the Roman Catholic parish of Bad Säckingen-Murg. The monastery church was built in the Romanesque style, rebuilt in the Gothic style after a fire in the 14th century, and renovated with Baroque elements in the 17th and 18th centuries. The remains of Saint Fridolin are kept in a richly decorated silver shrine in the publicly accessible Fridolin Chapel on the right side of the choir. The procession on the Sunday after March 6th, commemorating the saint's death and commemoration, enjoys national renown. Due to its legendary history, the church has been included in the list of "Mythical Places on the Upper Rhine" (Wikipedia).

After a severe flood hit the city in 1343, the Gallus Tower was built together with the city wall both as protection against further flooding and as a defensive structure.

The mighty church building in the Baroque style with two towers reflects the size and importance of the former monastery and convent that led to the founding of the city. Inside, the Catholic church has a bright nave and numerous paintings.

In Fischergasse stands the Fischerzunft house, which dates back to 1717. It is one of the oldest buildings in Bad Säckingen and is now a museum and exhibition space for artists.

Along Fischergasse there are numerous houses belonging to former traders and craftsmen. These were mainly home to fishermen and members of the Rhine cooperative, who were only allowed to fish until 1879.
