Here you roll comfortably through the Pfaffnerntal between Vordemwald and Sankt Urban. Quiet connecting road with almost no traffic between "Vordemwald" and Sankt Urban. It rolls slightly undulating through blooming landscapes and cool forest areas. Asphalt is great!

The Vordemwald Reformed Church is the Reformed village church in the Aargau municipality of Vordemwald. It was consecrated in 1949 and belongs to the Zofingen Reformed parish. In order to avoid the long journey of over five kilometers to attend sermons in Zofingen, the idea of building a church in Vordemwald arose as early as the 19th century. However, the local municipality rejected the construction twice because, despite the promised donations, it was afraid of the construction and follow-up costs. It was not until the end of the first half of the 20th century that the construction project was taken up again. A church building association was founded and the parish assembly decided to build a church on June 23, 1947. The church was built by the architect Hans Hübscher. It was consecrated in December 1949. The total cost was 347,000 Swiss francs. The ringing of the four donated bells was celebrated a year later. In 1996, the church was renovated inside and out.

The wonderful rest area is usually not very busy because you can't drive there by car. There is a permanent fire pit with a grill, running water and seating. Also very suitable for families with smaller children. A paradise in the forest clearing. Ideal for a well-deserved break after the mountain trail.
