Amazon hike

The High Rhine flows between Lake Constance and Basel, largely forming the natural border between Germany and Switzerland. The Aargau section lies between the small town of Kaiserstuhl and the former Roman metropolis of Augusta Raurica (Kaiseraugst). Here, the river flows unhindered through the landscape for long stretches.

The "Chly Rhy" floodplain conservation area has a wide variety of habitats. Viewing platforms provide an unobstructed view of nature away from the accessible paths. Here you can observe, make small and large discoveries, enjoy the peace and quiet, take a walk, explore and enjoy a barbecue. The best way to discover the habitats of the floodplain is on a hike. Many floodplain animals also go on a hike: for example, frogs and toads from the hinterland look for spawning grounds in sun-warmed pools, and young beavers that have grown up in the floodplain set off to conquer their own territory.
