More information about the video content bellow:
1. Located between Zürich, Basel and Bern, the canton of Aargau is in the heart of Switzerland's so-called flatlands. And despite many travelers having never heard of it, the canton is also one of the most densely populated. Canton Aargau has over 670'000 inhabitants, a quarter of which are citizens of other countries. The canton covers 1404 km^2.
2. Canton Aargau was founded in the year 1803. The areas that the French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte combined to form Aargau had great political, confessional, and economic differences. This is still true to some extent today. In the 17th century, Jews were banished from Switzerland. The County was the only federal condominium in the 17th century where Jews were tolerated. In 1774, they were restricted to just two towns, Endingen and Lengnau.
3. For those of you not able to plan a trip to Switzerland for the start of November or a day off midweek, Aarau is worth a visit more than once a year. The small town is a pleasant surprise - the type you find in places that are often forgotten. Though the city has been the site of civilization since the Bronze Age, the town known today as Aarau was founded by the Kyburger count Hartmann IV around 1240.
4. Every first Wednesday of November, the folks of Aarau celebrate the wonderful root vegetable loved by rabbits, horses and humans alike - the carrot. There is some evidence that the Aargauers were the first to cultivate carrots and other root vegetables in large numbers. The traditional Rüeblimärt (Carrot Market) attracts some 35’000 visitors midweek to a town with a population of just 21’000. That alone is a feat and worth the journey to buy and try purple, yellow, red and the classic orange carrot.
5. The canton of Aargau is one of the least mountainous Swiss cantons, forming part of a great table-land, to the north of the Alps. Around 1,065 kilometers to hike and 1,000 to cycle lure guests to both demanding as well as more leisurely hikes – and cycling tours through lush meadows, shady forests and stunningly beautiful floodplains.
6. Nestled between the rivers Aare and Rhine, are the rolling hills of the Aargau Jura. A multifaceted stepped landscape of valleys, Jurassic plateau and mountains is the largest vacation region between Basel and Zürich. The Aargau Jura Park located to the north of Aarau harbors a large number of natural treasures: sparse pine forests, orchid slopes, rocky steppes, dry meadows and terraced vineyards.
7. In the second half of the 13th century, the territory became divided between the territories claimed by the imperial cities of Berne, Lucerne and Solothurn and the Swiss canton of Unterwalden. The remaining portion, largely corresponding to the modern canton of Aargau, remained under the control of the Habsburgs until the "conquest of Aargau" by the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1415. Habsburg Castle itself, the original seat of the House of Habsburg, was taken by Berne in April 1415.
