The Thieves' Tower, a round and delicate-looking tower, was once part of Bad Säckingen's city wall. In the 17th century, it was incorporated into the grounds of Schönau Castle. In 1864, Säckingen manufacturer Theodor Bally had the Thieves' Tower rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. Since 2005, the romantic tower has been used for civil weddings and receptions. Tip: From the Thieves' Tower, enjoy the most beautiful view of the Rhine and one of the city's landmarks: the wooden bridge. Today, the tower can be booked for private or public events such as weddings, etc.

At 204 meters, the Bad Säckingen wooden bridge is the longest covered wooden bridge in Europe. Since the Middle Ages, it has been repeatedly destroyed by floods, ice, and wars, and rebuilt several times. It served as an escape route to Switzerland during times of crisis, such as 1848 and 1945. In 2014, secret Swiss military explosives depots were removed from its pillars.

Along the Rhine you can pass the city fortifications.

The water flows out of the fountain at this point and follows the course of the road to the old bridge fragment.

The bridge fragment made of red granite is reminiscent of the stone bridge that still lies in the ground beneath the street today. In 1830, the right arm of the Rhine that ran at this point was filled in, which permanently changed the cityscape.

The "Fools' Fountain" depicts the figures of the Bad Säckingen carnival: the "Römer," the "Siechenmännle," the "Maisenhardt Jeggele," and the "Hüüler." The fountain was made of Jurassic limestone in 1972 by Rheinfelden sculptor Leonard Eder.
