Rheinfelden - Basel

Roman theater in Augusta Raurica

At the entrance to the Basel agglomeration, we pass by Schweizerhalle, a complex of chemical and pharmaceutical factories, but this does not disturb us much along the Rhine. Next, we enter the Birsfelder Hard, a large forest area used for drinking water extraction from groundwater. Then we follow the Birs to Birsfelden in the canton of Baselland. After crossing the Birs, we are in the canton of Basel-Stadt, where in the St. Alban area we still find remains of the old city fortifications. Past the Basel Minster, our path finally leads to the Middle Bridge, the district on the left bank of the Rhine is called "Schifflände." Here we are practically in the center of Basel, and this is also where the path coming from Freiburg im Breisgau ends.
