From the jetty, the wide Aare River is reminiscent of the Amazon. At each end, there are seating areas for relaxing breaks. A spacious barbecue area also invites you to enjoy a fiery barbecue.

A great starting point for the Aare River Trail. The train station is right next to the castle, and there's also free parking. For example, you can take the red train from here to Solothurn and hike back along the Aare River – a beautiful route!

On warm, sunny days (usually between spring and summer), the small open-air restaurant behind the power plant is open. In addition to a magnificent landscape, it offers plenty of space to linger. A fantastic selection of solid and liquid delights will make hikers' hearts beat faster. You can even leave your backpack at home for a change. The restaurant has several Toi Toi restrooms.
