Streamside spot, overnight ban disputed
148 Murgenthalstrasse, 4900, Langenthal
Been here?
Small streamside barbecue spot popular with dog walkers and cyclists, off a lane behind the bridge near Roggwil. Access is easy but water splashing is popular in summer, drawing crowds until early evening; otherwise it's quiet, and travellers have had the parking area to themselves overnight. Overnight stays are disputed: some report a driving/night ban and police moving campers on, while others found no such restriction. Firewood is sometimes provided at the fire pit.

Pleasant stop. We stopped here to eat and enjoy the stream to cool off, but we continued driving because the reviews were particularly negative about sleeping here.Translating
Beautiful spot, somewhat sloping, but nice by the river.Translating
Nice place; the driving ban begins after the spot. Plenty of room to turn around, but not for large motorhomes!Translating
We arrived around 3 p.m.; access was very easy, and it was possible to wade a little in the stream. Unfortunately, the Swiss police came to tell us that staying overnight was prohibited. We had to move elsewhere.Translating
There is no driving ban, contrary to what previous reviewers wrote. Great place. You can swim in the stream. Therefore, when the weather is good, there is quite a lot of activity until early evening.Translating
Very nice little spot! The children are having fun in the water.Translating
The parking area really exists; simply take the small road immediately behind the bridge. There was even firewood prepared at the barbecue area! The place is okay. ;-)Translating
Nice place, walks are possible. Beware, there are many passers-by, especially dogs! You can make a fire, but you need to bring wood!Translating
