The Verena Minster, the actual centre of the medieval place of pilgrimage, was built over the grave of Saint Verena in a Roman grave field. The legendary Christian from Upper Egypt travelled to Solothurn, where she lived in the Verena Grotto in the 4th Century. She dedicated her life completely to caring for old and sick people. Later she came to Zurzach, where, having miraculously cured several people, she died. She has been known as the patron saint of health care every since.

Although Zurzach feels like a town and in bygone times hosted a market, it never in fact was a town. Nonetheless the buildings along the Zurzach House Trail form an ensemble of national importance. Impressive pictures and sculptures are dotted along the Art Trail and a Nature, a Forest and a Family and Play Trail complete the range of theme trails on offer. When walking along the Family and Play Trail, you might even come across some beaver tracks as some of these animals have set up home in the Rhine. And there are marked Nordic walking routes as well. The peaceful region on the national border along the Rhine is perfect for bike excursions, for example to the nearby small German town of Waldshut with its round stork tower.

West of Zurzach the River Aare is dammed up in the Klingnau Reservoir just before it merges with the Rhine. The silting up in the area of the reservoir has led to the creation of an area where over 270 bird species spend their winters and the emergence of an internationally renowned nature preserve for plant and animal communities including rare and endangered bird, amphibian and reptile species. The area around the Klingnau Reservoir is the relaxation haven par excellence in the lower Aare Valley.
