Tips from the Community
Arrived at the summit of the Bürersteig (550 m above sea level), a versatile hub for cyclists and mountain bikers in the Jurapark Aargau opens up. Those who have mastered the ascent from Mönthal or Gansingen do not have to go directly down the fast descent to Remigen – there is plenty to discover at the top: Discover military history: The Bürersteig fortified position Directly in the area of the pass and in the adjacent forest areas, you will encounter historical concrete structures from the Second World War and the Cold War. Purpose of the facility: The pass was part of the Swiss Army's Bürersteig fortified position. Its mission was to block a potential enemy advance from the Rhine Valley across the Jura towards the Mittelland and the Aare Valley.

Beautiful view of the Reuss, whether going upstream or downstream. Right next to the bridge, there is a small sandbank that invites you to swim.

Cycle path located between Remigen and Möntal. Off the road, quietly situated, almost nestled between two mountains. The picturesque landscape also has a calming effect on us: the vineyards, the fields, the forests... From Remigen in the direction of Möhntahl, a slight upward trend, before the Ampfernhöhe a steeper section that can be easily managed. Have fun on the ride!

A beautiful view of the Flachsee lake, which is actually an artificial lake on the Reuss, in every season. A paradise for birds and a place to linger

Here a jetty leads to a bird watching stand. It is a wooden hut on a jetty, with seating facilities to linger and observe birds at the same time.

Always a great view of the Flachsee, with its diversity of birds. It is also a vast nature reserve that invites you to linger and observe the wildlife. In summer, you often see water buffaloes frolicking in and around the Flachsee.

The first Aare bridge near Stilli was built in 1903 by the canton of Aargau. Renewed and widened in 1970. In the 13th/14th century, a bridge already crossed the Aare near Freudenau Castle (approx. 200 meters upstream).

Pleasant gradient, easy to manage. Beware, we are not alone on the road. Especially when going downhill. The route is also popular with motorcyclists and cars, especially on weekends and holidays when the weather is nice.
