Baden-Olten

The prevailing opinion is that the canton of Aargau has little to offer in terms of mountain biking fun. The tour from Baden to Olten shows a different picture. Flowing single trails, crisp climbs and the best panoramic views characterize this extraordinary day tour.

Description

From Baden train station, you first roll up to Allmend via local roads and then on to Baldegg. The first singletrail fun is along the ridge to Birmenstorf. Here you cross the Reuss and follow the country road to Lupfig, where the ascent up to Chestenberg begins. Single trail number two is reached. This is a fun path along the ridge down to Wildegg Castle and on to the town center. Now you cross the Aare, whereupon you reach the Gisliflue with its wonderful view of the Mittelland on forest roads and finally on a steep cart track. Singletrail number three now leads, again along the ridge, down to the Gatter. From here you climb up to Hombergeregg. Single trail number four is a special highlight and leads down to Küttigen on a varied path. There is a section on the main road in the direction of Bänkerjoch to reach Wasserflue from the south. Single trail number five leads over the ridge again, passing the Salhöhe and later reaching the Geissflue. Anyone who only knows serpentine trails from the Alps will be proven wrong here. After the short but crisp descent, there is a longer transfer section to Froburg, where single trail number seven begins at the ruins. This forms the final section of the tour and leads along a first-class flowing path to Hauensteinstrasse on the outskirts of Trimbach. From here, you can follow the main road to Olten railroad station or take the route through the forest to the south of the village and add single trail number eight to the tour.

Hammer Tour - es gibt aber nix geschenkt. Viel rauf und runter, viele Trails, aber fast alles fahrbar. Fahrverbot Wasserflue-Salhöchi: es hatte einige Wanderer an einem Sonntag, aber alle sehr freundlich bis hochachtungsvoll ;-) Haben das ganze als Bikepacking-Tour von Zürich gemacht. Verlängerung Olten-Biel steht als nächstes an.

Ob sich Wasserflue bis zum Fernsehturm mit einem E-Bike besser fahren (respektive tragen) lässt, als mit einem normalen Bike, wage ich zu bezweifeln. Zudem steht nun in Richtung Salhöchi ein Bikeverbot.

Es scheint dass der Track von Olten nach Baden führt statt umgekehrt! Als ich beim start der tour in Baden auf meinem Garmin "zum Start navigieren" aktivierte führte uns der Track auf der Hauptstrasse in Richtung Olten. Wir haben so den ersten Singletrail verpasst.
Ride sollte den GPX Track aktualisieren!
