    The first traces date from around 1000 BC. Chr.,
    The settlement was located on the route from Aventicum (now Avenches) to Salodurum (now Solothurn) and at the junction with Pierre Pertuis. Petinesca. Petinesca at the time was a fortress with ramparts and palisades. Today, the floor plans of the walls can still be seen. Not spectacular, but still very interesting.

        Worth seeing. Also to take a break or to continue a short stop on the way to the old Aare.
