Bach Valley
The Bachsertal is an approximately eight kilometer long valley in northern Switzerland that leads from the Dielsdorf district over the northwestern border of the canton of Zurich to the Zurzach district of the canton of Aargau .
geography
The Bachsertal bears the name of the village of Bachs and is drained from the Fisibach to the northwest, which gave the second village in the valley its name. Further settlements in the valley floor are the hamlets Weierbach , Neumühle , Hueb and Thalmühle , which belong to the municipality of Bachs, and the hamlet of Hägelen , which belongs to Fisibach .
In the canton of Zurich the valley runs to the northwest, in the canton of Aargau to the north. The boundaries of the valley form gravel terraces typical of the Central Plateau , which were created in the early Pleistocene by means of medium moraine material . These are the Egg ( 671 m above sea level ) in the southwest, the Stadlerberg ( 637 m above sea level ) in the northeast, in the lower part the Berg ( 603 m above sea level ) in the west and in the lower part of the Bachertal the Sanzenberg ( 552 m above sea level ) in the east. The eastern end of the valley is formed by the Heitlig , a small pass that connects Steinmaur with the Bachsertal. In the north the Bachsertal flows into the valley of the High Rhine .
