Wynental
The Wynental is the Wyna River valley mostly in Canton Aargau, but also Canton Lucerne, Switzerland. Municipalities found in the Wynental include Beinwil am See, Beromünster, Burg, Gontenschwil, Leimbach, Menziken, Neudorf, Oberkulm, Pfeffikon, Reinach, Teufenthal, Unterkulm, and Zetzwil.
The Wyna River is 32 km long. It begins north of Neudorf (LU) and runs due north between Beromünster (LU) and Menziken before connecting with the Suhre River just north of Suhr. The valley is fairly narrow, with an average width of about 500 meters. Steep hills rise on both sides, carved by tributary valleys.
The WSB (Wynental und Suhrental Bahn), a narrow gauge railroad, serves the Wynental. The Wynental branch runs from Aarau to Menziken.
