SPLASH OUT IN BADEN.
Hikes Birdwatcher’s paradise on Lake Flachsee Baden Railway Station – train to Rottenschwil – hike to Lake Flachsee – train back to Baden The hike to the unique nature reserve area ‘Lake Flachsee’ begins in Rottenschwil. In the 1960s, a soil improvement project for the Reuss plain as well as the construction of a power plant were planned. The plain would have been drained with a canal system without consideration of the diverse flora and fauna living there. After years of debate, an alternative project was developed with the initiative of the then ‘Aargau Association for Nature Preservation.’ This project recommended the creation of a shallow lake. After a fiercely-fought vote, a small majority of Aargau citizens chose the current, ecofriendly variation. Places of interest: The entire area is home to countless rare bird species, especially in the winter months, and has very diverse flora. The loops of the River Reuss below the power plant at Bremgarten are also geographically fascinating. The Hermetschwil Monastery is one of the Benedictine abbeys dedicated to St. Martin. It is situated on a small hill directly on the west bank of the River Reuss. The monastery was founded at the end of the 12th century but was closed down in 1876. However, it has been operating as a monastery again since 1985.
