Description
Drinking water — of course, it always flows sparkling from our tap. But do you know the path it takes? We invite you to look behind the scenes of Olten's water supply! Experience on this free tour how the cool water travels from the cloud to your home. And learn firsthand why Olten played a pioneering role in the history of groundwater extraction. The drinking water needs of Olten, Starrkirch-Wil, Trimbach, Hauenstein, and Wisen are covered one hundred percent by groundwater, which is extracted west of the city area from the groundwater stream in Gheid, where the tour takes place.
