RUE IN DER HALDE

Aarau has preserved the vestiges of its historic past, including the charming Rue de la Halde, which dates back to the late Gothic period. This little street is surely the most typical of the old town, with a very homogeneous group of houses, including the former convent of St. Ursula women (^13th century). Further on, between two houses, an austere silhouette of exposed stone: the Turm Rore, another vestige of the fortifications. Strolling along the Halde is very pleasant, as the center is pedestrianized and only accessible by bicycle or public transport.
