The Türlersee is a beautiful place for a little break in nature. The lake can be circled on varied paths and always offers beautiful views of the water. Two officially marked bathing spots invite you to cool off on warm days. Those who prefer to swim in the beach bath will find a paid option directly at the campsite. There is also a self-service restaurant there for a relaxing break. Numerous barbecue areas, benches, and jetties leading into the lake invite you to linger and observe nature. Thanks to the many shady sections, the Türlersee is a worthwhile destination even on hot days.

The Reussbrücke connects Unterlunkhofen with Rottenschwil. There is a separate crossing for pedestrians and bikers. The crossing is single-lane for car drivers, but there are large parking lots on both sides and the Restaurant Hecht nearby (recommended for a culinary treat).

The sculptures are located along the "Freiämter Sagenweg" in the forest of Waltenschwil. It is partly almost mystical around all the different figures, which allow for fairytale-like and boundless fantasies ;). Since the sculptures are in the forest and thus provide shade, a trip during the summer holidays is an experience for young and old. Barbecue and seating areas are available in the vicinity.

Very beautiful pond, nestled in a forest landscape, it lies between Wohlen and Bremgarten in the canton of Aargau. It is located in the nature reserve and swimming is not allowed. Recently, the large bench was renovated, which invites you to linger to simply enjoy nature and the peace and quiet.

Always a great view of the Flachsee, with its diversity of birds. It is also a vast nature reserve that invites you to linger and observe the wildlife. In summer, you often see water buffaloes frolicking in and around the Flachsee.
