Separated Bike Path on Gösgerstrasse

Highlight • Cycleway

Luckily, there's this bike path, so you don't have to ride on the busy road. Tip: Coming from Winznau, you have to climb up to the road at the end. Downshift, downshift

View of the Aare Canal

Highlight • River

The Aare is canalized here, making its course even more peaceful. A bridge allows you to admire the river in its entire width.

Day 10. Today I decided to take a day off in order to have some time with my friends and to relax from the long ride. Although it was a relaxation day, I still made a small tour with my friend from Aarau to Olten and back. Nothing special, just a ride to see a piece of Switzerland.
