Introduction to Wangen an der Aare, Switzerland

Wangen an der Aare lies at the foot of the Jura mountain range, 40kms to the northeast of Bern, in the administrative district of Oberaargau. Wangen an der Aare hotels are not only an ideal starting point for trips to Bern, but also for visits to the Baroque gem of Solothurn, 15kms to the southwest. The small Swiss town itself has enough attractions to keep visitors lingering for a day or two, from the pleasant riverbanks of the Aare, crossed by a centuries-old wooden covered bridge, to an early 15th century castle. The late medieval castle, constructed under the Kyburger Dynasty, played a role in guarding the once-important river crossing. Also of interest is the 18th century salt house. The small town has been a hub for the Swiss Army since WWI, when howitzer units were stationed in warehouses along the river. Today's army base serves mainly as a training centre. Tourist can access the town via the A1 or the Biel/Bienne-Olten Railway.
