Since ths travel bug is going to Germany, I thought I'd post a bit about it here. Post pictures and don't forget the contest!
Rheinfelden (Baden) has a population of over 30,000 and is located in the Southwest of Germany. Its symbol is the Wasserturm (water storage tower) and it is a modern industrial city.
"Rheinfelden brings together" is one of the town's mottos. The bridge leading to the old Zhringen town of Swiss Rheinfelden dates back to 1922. The older twin town of Rheinfelden (Baden) is at least 850 years old.
Rheinfelden is located on an axis running from North to South. With a direct traffic link to the Basel - Frankfurt motorway and the N3 in Switzerland, Rheinfelden is an ideal vantage point for many excursions. The Swiss airports at Basel and Zrich are only a short drive away.
If you are interested in venturing into natural areas from home during the weekends, you'll be spoilt for choice. The entire network of hiking areas in the Southern Black Forest as well as the Swiss Jura mountains and the French Vosges are less than an hour by car.
Rheinfelden is also situated at the foot of the Dinkelberg. From the City centre, you have easy access to the beauty of this hilly outcrop. This is best done on foot or by bike. The hill at Herten (,,Hertener Berg") offers a fantastic panoramic view of the Swiss Alps on a fine day. You'll also have the opportunity to try one of the great wines that are produced on these slopes. One the most impressive natural features not to be missed are the ,,Tschamber" caves at Karsau.
