Aarberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle, built around 1220, was the residence of about one hundred governesses from 1358 to 1830. It was built several times and renovated. Today, it still houses the government governor Seeland, the Seeland debt collection office, the child and adult protection authority KESB Seeland and the cantonal police.

Aarberg is a secret in many respects. Gourmets, for example, will get their money's worth, but the picturesque host city square is also worth a visit. For example, you can sit down at the confiserie Steffen at a table and treat yourself to a piece of the regionally famous cake.

Alte Aare River

Highlight • River

The paths along the old Aare and through the renatured floodplains is a wonderful experience. Only the more or less close motorway disturbs the mood in some places.

Old Aare Trail

Highlight • Trail

Nice, short trail after the industrial Lyss to Busswil, along the old Aare. Caution, sometimes very close to the water and with some "holes".

Alte Aare Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The floodplain area of the Alte Aare is a nature reserve of national importance.
The pearl of water winds gently through the area and, with its ecologically extremely valuable riverbank vegetation, offers many animals and plants a habitat in and on the water. Thanks to numerous revitalization projects, the river courses with their pools, open gravel areas and oxbows offer a home to beavers, kingfishers and numerous amphibians.
