Wine trail in the Zurzibiet vineyards

It is a delight to set off from the former Jewish village of Endingen or (in the opposite direction) from the medieval town of Klingnau and hike through the vineyards on the sunny slopes of the Aare and Surbtal valleys. The route reveals the scenic charms, cultural and historical values of the Zurzibiet. This forms the north-east corner of the Aargau and is part of the wine region of Eastern Switzerland. Local wines can be tasted in the restaurants or wineries (on request) along the way.

In addition to Klingnau Castle and the Endingen Synagogue, there are two cantonal museums: the fire brigade museum in Endingen and the wine-growing museum in Tegerfelden. Everywhere you go, there are restaurants serving delicious food and local wines. From vantage points and rest areas in the Surbtal valley, the view sweeps over the fertile Ruckfeld and in the Aare valley over the Klingnau reservoir, which is of European importance as a breeding and stopover site for migratory birds. Beyond the parish, the horizon is formed by the Jura and Black Forest mountain ranges.
