Aeugstertal is a hamlet of the municipality of Aeugst am Albis. The abandoned settlement of Borsikon, mentioned in 883 as Porsinchova, lay near today's Aeugstertal. The house Chloster housed a small Beguine convent dissolved before 1500. Coal was mined at the Riedhof mine, especially during the Second World War.
