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!

The covered wooden bridge Fulenbach-Murgenthal crosses the Aare and connects the Solothurn municipality of Fulenbach with the municipality of Murgenthal on the Aargau side of the river. The 4.3 m high and 4.85 m wide bridge spans the river in two openings, each with a span of around 45 m. The bridge was opened in 1863 to carry a load of 12 tons. In 1937, the bridge was reinforced with trusses and a 1.52 m wide pedestrian bridge was added downstream. After the renovation in 1983, the bridge's load-bearing capacity was 12 tons.

Nice view of Aarwangen Castle 🏰 on cycle route 5 and 8 Olten -> Solothurn. The castle already existed as a knight's complex at the end of the 12th century 👌🏻.
