Between the Aare and the Rhine
The landscapes in the Jura Mountains between the rivers Aare and Rhine are attractive and varied. They are not natural landscapes but cultural landscapes that have been shaped by man for centuries.
Chaltenbrunnen
The Chaltenbrunnen raised mire is located on a slope terrace above Meiringen. Because it has remained in its original unspoiled state, it is one of the most important mires in the Swiss Alps.
Lakes of Amsoldingen and Uebeschi
Lakes of Amsoldingen and Uebeschi and the adjacent mires near Amsoldingen are witnesses of the Ice Age. The mire landscape around the two lakes includes all of the blanket mire types found in Switzerland.
Technology and nature on Lake Grimsel
The Grimsel region in the heart of the Aare Massif is characterized by impressive granite rocks. The contrast between the wild natural landscape and the use of man-made technology to generate hydro-electric power is impressive.
The Wasserschloss
The rivers Aare, Reuss and Limmat meet at Turgi in the canton of Aargau. Some alluvial sites have been preserved in the Wasserschloss (i.e. “water castle”), as the area is known. The canton of Aargau aimes to preserve and upgrade the existing alluvial sites remaining throughout the canton with its Alluvial Site Protection Park.
