Cycling along the Aare Canal in Orpund is a peaceful and scenic experience, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The path follows the gentle curves of the canal, surrounded by lush vegetation and peaceful views of the water, making it a perfect escape from the busier roads.

Aare Trail at the Inseli

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This single trail runs directly along the banks of the Aare River. You ride over grass and forest floor, without any obstacles. At this point, the Aare is still quite natural and very beautiful. You just have to watch out for pedestrians, who are mostly out on the trail on weekends.
