Eiken

Built around a rural settlement in the Fricktal, Eiken grew into a modern Aargau community between the Rhine valley and the wooded folds of the Tafeljura. The Rhine runs just north of the municipality, forming Switzerland’s frontier with Germany, while rail connections place Eiken on the Basel–Brugg route. The locality belongs to the German-speaking Fricktal, a district with a longstanding wine-growing tradition; vineyards around the village remain part of its agricultural setting. Eiken is a compact place shaped by farming, commuting and its position in northwestern Switzerland. Trace Eiken’s place between the Rhine and the Jura by browsing webcams across Aargau.
