Aare Trail near Bannwil

Highlight • River

The path along the Aare is very calming with the still flowing water in every season.

Beautiful forest place to relax and eat on the dammed Aare in front of the Bannwil hydroelectric power station. Run by young hosts for around 4 years. Current information on the website >Bürgis Aarebeitzli< is constantly updated.

Nice, big, quiet forest clearing. A quiet place in the middle of Längwald between Bannwil and Niederbipp. At the edge of the forest clearing, there is even a small forest …

Schwengimatt

Highlight • Rest Area

If you want to watch the shooting stars in August, you can go 50m further up. Since it has a small clearing, which is quite well protected from light pollution.

View of Aarwangen Castle

Highlight • Castle

From the pontoon house you have a good view of the castle Aarwangen. At the same time, this location also offers the possibility to "drain" if you are looking for a cool down in the Aare.

Short evening trip over the Schwengimatt. Absolutely unspectacular with a nice evening atmosphere and fresh biker doping (wild garlic) for dinner 😋😄

I had two goals for tonight's round. 1. getting rid of my heavy legs and 2. coming home dry again. And to start with, my wishes have come true. Although, after a few kilometers I would have preferred to turn back. The muggy warm air lay like lead over the area and that's exactly what my legs felt like. But …

Short evening ride to Schwengimatt. My good deed today: collecting some rubbish lying around at the lovely Burgermätteli barbecue area. It's incomprehensible that users can't take their rubbish with them!

A little later, another disappointment! Part of the path down was badly damaged during logging work. And then the forest owners mocked the fact that bikers were damaging the forests. …

Already driven X times and yet this lap always offers something new.
E.g. a path along the Aare. The wind has turned this path with fallen trees into a concour hippique. 🐎
Then the ascent from Niederbipp to Schängi. It has never been a favorite climb for me, but today this road just seemed a tad steeper to me. 😰 …

I took advantage of the beautiful evening for a short ride over the Schwengimatt. The trails down were still very wet and the ground was extremely slippery. I have never found the Erlinsburg Trail so treacherous and challenging. The trouble of the day, however, was caused by the cows on the Walderalp. They made the wet approach to Erlinburg impassable. …

Bike shoes are primarily there for the bike. But if you are also out and about in alpine terrain, pushing, running, carrying your bike is also announced from time to time. For this reason I bought a new hiking bike shoe. I chose a shoe from Suplest, a small Swiss shoe brand founded by two cycling enthusiasts from Burgdorf. I …

April 21, 2023,Schwengimatt Erlinsburg Trail Bike einfahren

If a bike is used intensively, then it needs intensive care from time to time. So after three years I replaced all the bearings on the rear end, changed the chain and cassette, brake disc and brake pads and even the front derailleur, which no longer wanted to do its job after a hard hit. Then I touched up some …
