This tour poses the question: Should you set off straight away or take a leisurely stroll around the spa town's hot springs at the beginning of the route? The public bathing areas are definitely a draw for younger cyclists. If you've managed to tear yourself away, you can expect not only plenty of open nature but also a tour with cultural and historical sights such as the mill in Mellingen or Königsfelden Monastery.

Towards the end of the tour, you'll arrive above the confluence of the Aare, Limmat, and Reuss rivers, and you can consider whether the view is worth a little detour. In any case, this tour caters to a wide variety of tastes. Picnic areas and fire pits are ideal for relaxing breaks, so you can plan a wide range of experiences for a family outing.

Kirchdorf Village Square

Highlight • Settlement

Nice place in the village center of the Kirchdorf community. The village square is surrounded by the country inn Zum Hirschen and a village fountain also decorates the picture.

Aare Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Aare bridge here is a quick connection between the two banks of the Aare. There is a separate path that is wide enough for bicycles and pedestrians, safely separated from the road. On the right bank, I recommend visiting the Freudenau ruins, which are an ideal place to relax, with tables, benches and fire pits.

Reuss pedestrian and cycle bridge near Mellingen

Highlight • Bridge

Mellingen is really a very pretty town, but traffic often jams between the gates and it is not particularly comfortable for bicycles. That's why I like to use the metal walkway near the sewage treatment plant on my tours.
