Zofingen Attractions

 
The great road and rail cross-country routes of Switzerland, Basle-St Gotthard-Ticino, and Lake Constance-Lake of Geneva, intersect in the lower Wigger valley, the most westerly point of the canton of Aargau. Of the 12 historic towns of Aargau, the old town of Zofingen is the most extensive. It was founded by the Counts of Frohburg who, in the third quarter of the 12th C., began to secure their lands to the north and south of the upper Hauenstein with eight new towns and several castles. The first known mention of the place was in 1175 or 1179; in 1201 the "Canonici de Zovingen" were acknowledged.
