Tips from the Community

Daniel Vogelbacher
May 3, 2026, PSI - Aarebrücke

With a mountain bike, the PSI-Aarebrücke is a beautiful and interesting crossing on the tour. I found the view of the Aare and the surrounding area at PSI really exciting because nature, water, and technology are close together here. A short stop is worthwhile to take in the view and enjoy the special atmosphere at the bridge.

With a mountain bike, the Aarebrücke near Beznau is a beautiful point on the tour. I found the crossing over the Aare particularly pleasant because you have a good view of the water, nature, and the power plant environment here. A short stop is worthwhile to enjoy the view and soak in the special atmosphere by the Aare.

Beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Aare. The detour is especially worthwhile for a short break to enjoy the view and take some photos. Ideal if you want to take a short breather on the go and let the river landscape sink in.
