Kaiseraugst

1km/0.5mi northeast of Augst beyond the Ergolz, beautifully situated on the banks of the Rhine, the little town of Kaiseraugst has the remains of a Roman fortified post. On the Rhine is the Augst-Whylen power station (1907-12), which has a dam 212 m/696ft long, and the Kaiseraugst nuclear power station which was finally halted in 1989 after years of strong opposition.
