A peaceful spot along the Reuss River, perfect for a relaxing break. The old iron bridge adds a historic charm, and the calm waters beautifully reflect the sky. There’s a comfortable bench where you can sit and enjoy the view, and a gravel parking area nearby makes access easy. Ideal for a short stop during a walk or bike ride.

The monastery complex of Muri is one of the most important cultural monuments in the canton of Aargau. The monastery complex is visible from far away in the hilly landscape of the Freiamt. It was founded in 1027.

A separated cycleway from Sims to Dietwil. The asphalted cycleway is in excellent condition. It would have been great had they completed this route from Dietwil to Gisikon. The last section from south of Dietwil to Gisikon is on a heavily travelled road with a lot of traffic, regardless of the time of day.
