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

The Düdingen Möser were subject to numerous disturbances in the 20th century. The peat of this Möser, which took several thousand years to form, was intensively mined during the Second World War to counteract the lack of coal. This resulted in several bodies of water and the habitat began to be colonized by trees and bushes. The use of part of the Möser as a waste pit and for fish farming, as well as the construction of the A12 motorway, had a major impact on this habitat in the 1970s.

A hermit's dwelling in the hamlet of Räsch was first mentioned in 1448. The hermit Johann Dupré and his assistant Johann Liecht expanded the rock dwelling to its current size between 1680 and 1708. In order to prevent the hermitage from collapsing and to preserve it for the general public, the parish of Düdingen carried out extensive renovation work in 2005/2006. Open and free of charge from April to September.

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.
