Wangen an der Aare

Highlight • Settlement

The town with the historic center is located in a rural setting right on the great Mittelland River Aare between the cities of Olten and Solothurn, but belongs to the Bernese Oberaargau. An old covered wooden bridge leads across the river. Wangen an der Aare was also the capital of the former district of the same name.

Former Attisholz Cellulose Factory

Highlight • Monument

Cellulose Attisholz AG was founded in 1881 and was the only cellulose factory in Switzerland at the time. In a turbulent history, Attisholz also took over the German company Hakle in 1983, known for toilet paper, which has since been sold to the large Kimberly-Clark group together with Tela. For two years in the 2000s it even belonged to Christopher Blocher.
The factory was finally closed in 2008.
Over the next 20 - 30 years it should be gradually developed into a lively and diverse district of the municipality of Riedholz with a variety of housing types, jobs, services, sports and leisure activities, art and culture and gastronomy - at least that's what it says in the 'prospectus'.

Emme River

Highlight • River

The Emme has been extensively renaturalized. A lot has been done from a dreary, straight river from Emmenspitz (Luterbach) to almost Burgdorf. The riverbed has been widened, trees have been cleared, space has been created. It is well worth cycling along it!!

Bridge Over the Emme

Highlight • Bridge

This - not really nicely designed - concrete and steel bridge is used to cross the Emme near Gerlafingen. It is older and looks a bit dilapidated. There is a small waterfall just before the bridge.
