Brugg Attractions
10km/6mi northwest of Baden lies Brugg (alt. 355m/1,165ft), an old town of 7,000 inhabitants and an important traffic junction near the confluence of the Aare, the Reuss and the Limmat. As the name indicates it grew up around its bridge, near which are the Black Tower (Schwarzer Turm, 11th century) and the Town Hall. In the old-world main street (No. 39) stands the house in which the educationist Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) died; his grave is at Birr, 7km/4mi south.
Vindonissa Museum
The Vindonissa Museum in Brugg contains a rich collection of material from the Roman fort of Vindonissa (first century A.D., now called Windisch). Opening hours are given.
