Eigenturm Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the tower you have a fantastic view over the Rhine plain between Rheinfelden and Basel, and in good weather you can even see the Swiss Jura! From Rührberg, the own tower is quite easy to reach.

October 5, 2024,Im grünen Wald 3 - Rührberg & Eigenturm

Made the most of the afternoon and went on another nice, lovely tour. This time in the Rührberg region. From the Eigenturm you can enjoy a wonderful view of Rheinfelden, Switzerland and the surrounding area. The changing clouds gave the whole thing a different atmosphere every time 😀
