Castle cellar, Wangen Castle (Wangen an der Aare)

Highlight • Castle

The castle cellar of Wangen Castle on the Aare River is located in the rear part of the building and can be rented for parties and events of all kinds. It accommodates approximately 50 people and can be expanded to include the adjacent castle courtyard. The venue is a visual delight that exudes charm. Ample parking is available right next to the castle cellar.

Wangen an der Aare

Highlight • Settlement

The town with the historic center is located in a rural setting right on the great Mittelland River Aare between the cities of Olten and Solothurn, but belongs to the Bernese Oberaargau. An old covered wooden bridge leads across the river. Wangen an der Aare was also the capital of the former district of the same name.

Flumenthal Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Structure

The Flumenthal power plant was put into operation in 1970. The three turbine generator groups are implementing measures to increase efficiency by 27 MW and generate an average of 146 GWh of electricity from renewable hydropower and six percent more electricity per year.

In 1993, Alpiq clarified how the performance of the Flumenthal run-of-river power plant can be increased. Following successful pilot projects, work was begun as part of a total renovation in 2006. The first turbine generator group converted the Alpiq for about six months in the winter of 2006/2007. The renewal of the other two groups was staggered by one year each. In the spring of 2009, the last machine group went back into operation. The modernization of the power plant included a major overhaul of the machinery groups with the installation of new turbine shafts and aerodynamically modified turbine wheels, the replacement of the electrical control and regulation equipment and the internal demand and generator systems.

The Aare cannot simply be crossed here, but you will find a very special option here with a private Aare ferry, which Pesche serves. call the number

As an alternative, you can of course hike downstream and cross the well-known wooden bridge from Wangen a. use the Aare

Roadworks on the A1 near Wangen an der Aare

Highlight • Structure

Due to the expansion of the motorway to three lanes, this section will be closed until the end of 2027. It is hoped that we will have a great and beautiful path along the Aare again in 2028.
