There is a great, bilingual book about the creation of the Schiffenen reservoir, over which the viaduct runs, with many pictures of the time before the Saane was dammed. It also has portraits of contemporary witnesses who had roots in the Saane valley. The book was published in 2012 by the O.S.K.A.R. association. Orders can be placed on the website: www.verein-oskar.ch

Not only is the restaurant something special, the beautiful park with its old trees is also a little gem.

The Grandfey Viaduct on the railway line from Bern to Freiburg is one of the largest bridges in Switzerland. It was built between 1858 and 1862 and is 334 m long and 82 m high. With the electrification of the Swiss Federal Railways' rail network, the bridge had to be reinforced in order to be able to carry the heavier and faster locomotives and train compositions. Based on a concept by Robert Maillart, the pioneer of large concrete structures in Switzerland, the Grandfey Viaduct was given its new design between 1925 and 1927.
