Via Zuchwil you climb up and pass the castle with the same name to Bleichenberg. The view is magnificent and gives you an overview of the city and region. High up on the Jura heights, the Weissenstein hotel is visible. At the entrance to Derendingen you reach the renatured Emme river. You hike to Luterbach along the eastern shore. Barbecue areas invite you to linger. Before the waste incineration plant, you cross the river and shortly thereafter meet the Aare river at Emmenspitz. On the opposite shore, the Attisholz development area is visible. You walk along the southern shore of the Aare towards Solothurn. Shortly before the goal, the Zuchwil sports center invites you to relax.

Author’s recommendation

The Waldegg Castle is a place with a magnificent history. The richly equipped museum provides insight into Solothurn's great era when the city on the Aare was the seat of ambassadors of the French king.
