Brugg AG
Intro
The pretty little town of Brugg and the commune of Windisch are located in the heart of the canton of Aargau, 30 km from Zurich at the confluence of three rivers: the Reuss, Limmat and Aare.
Description
Over the course of history, Brugg and Windisch were hosts to two world powers. Historic artefacts of global standing can be seen here, dating from the Habsburg and Roman eras and the Middle Ages. Visitors can also enjoy authentic experiences at Brugg Railway Park as they explore the history of the Swiss as a railway nation.
Winter
Suggestions for winter days: a dip in the superb thermal waters or a fascinating visit to the collection of Roman objects, with more Roman writing tablets than can be seen anywhere else in the world. If there is enough snow at lower altitudes, the various cross-country trails and small ski slopes offer wonderful prospects for a winter's day.
Summer
The region offers countless options for summer experiences: the Alluvial Site Protection Park around the moated castle can be explored on foot, and cyclists can follow marked routes. More experiences: visitors can travel back in time to the Roman and Habsburg eras, or explore Switzerland's railway culture.
