Aareuferweg always nice to ride. Sometimes it's narrow trails, but much more often wide gravel paths where you can easily pass each other without having to dismount.

On the Othmarsingen - Wildegg route, away from the road, there are some beautiful winding paths, some right by the water (with swimming, barbecues?), partly through wild nature, often with a view of Wildegg Castle.
