geography
The valley lies in the north-eastern Table Jura ; the part of the Swiss Jura which, in contrast to its unfolded parts ( Folded Jura ), was not folded. The Fischingertal runs practically in a straight line from south-east to north-west and is surrounded by wide, tabular plateaus into which the steep-walled and narrow valley is deepened. It is traversed by the Fischingerbach , which on the northern flank of the Tiersteinberg at Schupfart at approx. 550 m above sea level. M. rises and at Mumpf at 286 m above sea level. M. flows into the Upper Rhine . Like most of the other Jura valleys in the Fricktal region, the Fischinger Valley has a very narrow valley floor. On the south-western side of the valley is the extensive Looberg-Wabrig-Hersberg plateau, which separates the Fischingertal from the Möhlintal , which runs parallel to it .
The valley stretches over an area of 1,979 ha (19.79 km²), of which 36% are forest and 12% are settlement areas, 49% are used for agriculture. With 4,665 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2006) the valley has a population density of 235 inh. / Km².
