ヴィートリスバッハのおすすめランニングルート

Besides the old wooden bridge, the Salt House is probably the most mentioned building in Wangen an der Aare

This section is beautiful; a good gravel road makes for a leisurely and relaxing ride along the Aare River between Wangen and Solothurn. However, part of the route is closed until the end of 2027 due to the expansion of the A1 motorway. A partially signposted detour is in place.

Unfortunately, a lot is changing with the lane widening of the A1, as embankments have been cleared and a lane for construction vehicles has been built.

Beautiful garden restaurants for a cozy coffee break.

Good roads, nice people

Wangen an der Aare is a municipality and capital of the administrative district of Oberaargau in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. The little town with the historic town center is located in a rural setting directly on the large Mittelland river Aare between the towns of Olten and Solothurn, but belongs to the Bernese Oberaargau. An old covered wooden bridge crosses the river. Wangen an der Aare was also the main town of the former district of the same name. In the municipal area, the small river Ösch flows into the Aare as a mill stream. Neighboring communities are Attiswil, Wiedlisbach, Walliswil near Wangen and Wangenried. In the west, the municipality borders on the canton of Solothurn.

The salt was temporarily stored in the salt house (capacity 50,000 hundredweight) before being distributed further. In 1823, salt was distributed to 55 communities. After the discovery of the Rhine saltworks in 1836, the salt trade leveled off and was abolished in 1859. (according to information board)

The Salzhaus, built in 1775 as a salt warehouse for the state of Bern, was converted into a multi-purpose building in 1978.
