Eglisau

Eglisau is located in the Zurich canton right by the Rhine, close to the German border. The historic old town with its timber-framed houses is definitely worth a visit. In the surrounding area, you'll find vineyards, forests, and cycling paths along the river. Two bridges cross the Rhine and define the city. The railway bridge from 1897 spans the river with a length of 457 m and a height of 50 m. The stone road bridge was built in 1919. Leisure activities like swimming, hiking, and boating make Eglisau appealing. Numerous festivals and markets liven up the historic town center.
