The Herbuch Mill and the Eselweg (Ni 5): Start in Niederneisen and plunge directly into the Aar Valley. The mill is idyllically situated by the water – a great photo opportunity and a testament to the valley's former economic power. From here, follow the Ni 5 circular trail, which isn't called the Eselsweg for nothing! While it's primarily a hiking trail, it's perfect for cycling (preferably with slightly sturdier tires) as it takes you on a panoramic tour above the Aar Valley. You'll cycle leisurely up to the Wingertsberg and enjoy the fantastic panoramic view of the landscape – almost as good as from the Mensfelder Kopf. Pack your binoculars, because the expansive view is the star here. The trail offers a wonderful mix of quiet nature trails and short paved sections, perfect for getting your bike really dirty and unwinding. A relaxing, history-rich loop that's well worth the effort!

This lovely rest area is located in the heart of Oberneisen, directly on the Aartal Cycle Path. It's a lovely place to sit with a direct view of the remains of the west wall of the Oberneisen Castle ruins and the round church. It was nice to sit there for a while and take a break.
