This water-rich hike begins at the Steinbachweier in Walliswil/Berken. If you're lucky, you may already observe the first highlight there: the beavers. The path then leads you towards Röthenbach - to the idyllic Inkwilersee. Here, some barbecue spots invite you to linger. Fishing is also allowed here - of course with the appropriate license. 

The path then takes you to Wangen a. A. - always along the green-blue Aare - where you have various options to stop. The gentle climbs are now over, and the circular route ends at your starting point. 

A highlight is also the pretty little town of Wangen a. A. with its historic wooden bridge. 

You can of course choose your start/end point freely. 

Tip from the author
  • The two restaurants, Stadtgarten and Krone in Wangen a. A. invite you to linger. 
  • In the Steinbachweiher, swimming is even allowed in the back area. A small natural playground in the middle of greenery! 🏊‍♂️🌿
