April 26, 2026, Pedestrian Bridge Over the Aare

Calm and peaceful, the Alte Aare rejoins its new course. A wonderful place, a beautiful bridge to walk across, suspended over the water. Beautiful.

A visually appealing hydroelectric power plant. It's especially beautiful to admire the natural beauty along the river that flows into the lake. There's a nice little restaurant at the top.
