Hidden Gem in Switzerland - A Town of Two Nations

🚤 Did you know there's a town split by the Rhine River? This rare treasure is half Swiss and half German! Rheinfelden is divided by the Rhine, with its northern part belonging to Germany and the southern part to Switzerland. Though not widely known, it's one of Switzerland's oldest Zähringer family towns. With its broad market streets, painted facades, arcades, and Gothic town hall, it exudes medieval charm. Whether you're a history buff, nature explorer, or food and wellness enthusiast, Rheinfelden is a destination worth visiting. 🚶‍♀️ Experience slow travel without the crowds – perfect for a road trip and suitable for all ages. My favorite moments in Rheinfelden aren't at the sights but in these "little routines": ✨ Morning walks along the Rhine, with the town shrouded in mist like a dream ✨ Evening coffee on a riverside terrace, watching the sunset slowly fade 🧭 Travel Tips 📍 From Basel, take a 25-minute train to Rheinfelden, then walk to the center. 📍 In summer, you can also take a scenic boat ride from Basel's Schifflände pier. 📍 Driving is another great option. 📍 Plan for half a day to a full day to truly soak in the town's rhythm. 🍽️ What to eat? The food here is exceptional! My favorite, MUNDART restaurant by the river, is perfect for their Sunday brunch! At CHF 29.50, it includes homemade jam, bread, cheese, juice, eggs, and more – fresh ingredients with every bite full of care. Compared to high-end buffets, it's cozier and more down-to-earth. 📍 Tip: Book ahead! Mention any dietary restrictions when reserving.
