History route Solothurn

Already in the Middle Ages, the Counts of Frohburg appreciated the trade routes at the southern foot of the Jura. They founded the small town of Wiedlisbach in the 13th century. Around the same time, the settlement Wangen an der Aare was built, which, according to the Old High German word «Wang(en)», lies at the foot of the slope. This also makes this route so appealing: it lies between mountain and river and offers a magnificent view over the Swiss Plateau. On the bike, you can pedal your way back in time. In the medieval small towns, old houses stand timelessly in a row. It is time to stop. By the way: on the route, in Luterbach, there is a special clock – a water clock. Those who want to refresh themselves in summer can do so in the swimming pools of Solothurn and Wangen an der Aare.
