View of the Aare Canal

Highlight • River

The Aare is canalized here, making its course even more peaceful. A bridge allows you to admire the river in its entire width.

Super great bike tour on the Aare / Switzerland with many beautiful small bridges!

Enjoyed an ice cream with Herzdame on the Aare in Olten.

The plan was actually via Oftringen Kölliken Suhr back ⛈

Headwind first. Then stop at the Lindt shop. Later tailwind with hail and heavy rain.

Day 10. Today I decided to take a day off in order to have some time with my friends and to relax from the long ride. Although it was a relaxation day, I still made a small tour with my friend from Aarau to Olten and back. Nothing special, just a ride to see a piece of Switzerland.
