Nice flat asphalt stretch along the Aare. Suitable for all types of bicycles and levels. If you want, you can jump into cool water to cool off or have a picnic on the bank. It can be driven on for a long time on flat roads. There are only a few bumps from Wangen to Berken to Aarwangen. If you want, you can also let off steam in the somewhat steeper climbs nearby. For example, on the south side of the Aare towards Walliswil there is a small nasty ascent or towards Graben there is a slightly longer, biting section.

The Lischehüttli can be found idyllically above Walliswil near Niederbipp in the middle of the forest. In front of it, a nice barbecue area invites you to sizzle sausages.

Beautiful mat, which many scouts use again and again for a camp. So wrap up the tent and enjoy the clearing, because here you have little light pollution and so you can watch the stars great.

Nice, big, quiet forest clearing. A quiet place in the middle of Längwald between Bannwil and Niederbipp. At the edge of the forest clearing, there is even a small forest hut with barbecue area. A great place if you are looking for peace. At dawn and dusk you can often observe grazing deer.
