Aare at Wohlensee

Highlight • River

The Aare is the longest river that flows entirely within Switzerland. Its total length is 288 km, the gradient is 1665 m, its catchment area is 17,709 km² and the average discharge is 560 m³/s. The Aare is the most water-rich tributary of the Rhine, even ahead of the Meuse, and it carries more water than the Moselle and Main combined.
The Aare rises in the two Aar glaciers in the eastern Bernese Alps on the Finsteraarhorn, west of the Grimsel Pass in central southern Switzerland. Its course leads through the cantons of Bern, Solothurn and Aargau. First it passes through the Aare Gorge, cut into a high rock ridge, and then reaches the plain between Meiringen and the glacial Lake Brienz. Shortly before entering Lake Thun near Interlaken, it is canalized and leaves this to the northwest into the wide Aare Valley. In the area of Bern, it flows around the medieval city center and reaches Lake Wohlen in a westerly direction. At Aarberg, it is channeled into Lake Biel via the Hagneck Canal and, after leaving the canal, follows the course of the Jura Mountains northeastward. Below Brugg, it receives the Reuss and the Limmat before flowing into the Rhine near Koblenz (CH).
In the course of its geological development, the Aare was successively the upper course of the Danube, the Rhone and the Rhine.

Wohlensee

Highlight • Lake

Below Bremgarten BE, the Aare becomes lazy and slows down - thanks to the dam - to stagnant water. In the warm season, it is due to the proximity to the city extremely popular and consequently populated. Out of season, he is just as attractive, especially because of the tranquility he really radiates.

Schloss Münchenwiler

Highlight • Castle

Münchenwiler Castle - not far from the historic town of Murten - is located in the middle of a spacious park.
History: In 1081 the entire property was bequeathed to the Cluny monastery, because of sins, as the deed of donation states. Cluny built a priory on it. In 1943, the canton of Bern bought back the dilapidated castle and used it as a military accommodation and training facility. From the 1980s, the castle was renovated and later became the Parkhotel. However, the castle still belongs to the Canton of Bern.
