Quite a nice path along the Bünz, also suitable for hiking - probably a bit more pleasant than by bike 😉

It may be nothing special for someone, but for others it is something special every day. Whoever keeps their eyes and soul open will always find something to find, to observe, to admire. If you have time to stop and enjoy the atmosphere, to observe the reflections on the water, to find fish in the Aare, to catch a glimpse of a duck family, to observe the bank plants - the diverse life all around... And it is a pleasure to be able to and be allowed to be here!

The bridge was built in two parts, one for motor vehicles, and the narrower one for pedestrians and hikers. It is very generously built, so that three bicycles can meet at the same level at the same time. From the bridge, a wonderful view of the Aare river and the renaturalized riverbank area.
