I also recommend this footbridge for a hassle-free crossing of the Reuss. It is gladly used by hikers as well as cyclists and joggers. Very beautiful view from the footbridge onto the Reuss and good connection to the many trails nearby. I particularly like the trail along the Reuss downstream on the right bank.

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.

Aareuferweg always nice to ride. Sometimes it's narrow trails, but much more often wide gravel paths where you can easily pass each other without having to dismount.
