In Stilli, part of the route along the Aare remains closed following renaturation work. An alternative asphalt path is available, running parallel to fields and a new nature reserve. A part of the renatured area will no longer be accessible to us forever. A place for flora and fauna has been created. What was once taken from nature is now being returned in many places. Here, animals can move and live undisturbed. The history of the rafters on the Aare and Rhine is very impressive. Many information boards provide details about it. Not only did the rafters travel long distances by water, but also on foot. Today, rafters can still be observed on the Ägerisee, a cultural heritage that will be preserved.

With a mountain bike, the PSI-Aarebrücke is a beautiful and interesting crossing on the tour. I found the view of the Aare and the surrounding area at PSI really exciting because nature, water, and technology are close together here. A short stop is worthwhile to take in the view and enjoy the special atmosphere at the bridge.

Beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Aare. The detour is especially worthwhile for a short break to enjoy the view and take some photos. Ideal if you want to take a short breather on the go and let the river landscape sink in.
