Arrived at the summit of the Bürersteig (550 m above sea level), a versatile hub for cyclists and mountain bikers in the Jurapark Aargau opens up. Those who have mastered the ascent from Mönthal or Gansingen do not have to go directly down the fast descent to Remigen – there is plenty to discover at the top: Discover military history: The Bürersteig fortified position Directly in the area of the pass and in the adjacent forest areas, you will encounter historical concrete structures from the Second World War and the Cold War. Purpose of the facility: The pass was part of the Swiss Army's Bürersteig fortified position. Its mission was to block a potential enemy advance from the Rhine Valley across the Jura towards the Mittelland and the Aare Valley.

Cycle path located between Remigen and Möntal. Off the road, quietly situated, almost nestled between two mountains. The picturesque landscape also has a calming effect on us: the vineyards, the fields, the forests... From Remigen in the direction of Möhntahl, a slight upward trend, before the Ampfernhöhe a steeper section that can be easily managed. Have fun on the ride!

Ideal for a Sunday outing, on foot or by bike. Right next to the tower, the café "backparadies.ch" can be recommended (it's open on Sundays). Very close to the tower, there is a large fountain to refill the (bike) water bottles ;).

The first Aare bridge near Stilli was built in 1903 by the canton of Aargau. Renewed and widened in 1970. In the 13th/14th century, a bridge already crossed the Aare near Freudenau Castle (approx. 200 meters upstream).

Pleasant gradient, easy to manage. Beware, we are not alone on the road. Especially when going downhill. The route is also popular with motorcyclists and cars, especially on weekends and holidays when the weather is nice.
