Covered Wooden Bridge of Büren an der Aare
Highlight • Bridge
Only a few medieval settlements have been able to preserve their historical appearance as intact over the centuries as Büren an der Aare. There is a lot to see, including fascinating handicrafts in various studios and, of course, the famous wooden bridge.

Büren Wooden Bridge
Highlight (Segment) • Bridge
Büren's landmark has had supra-regional significance for centuries. The 108-meter-long Aare crossing has connected the town with the district of Reiben (belonged to Büren since 1911) since 1275.
The bridge in Büren an der Aare burned down as early as 1798. During a hasty retreat from Napoleon's troops, the locals set fire to it themselves.
During the internment of the French Bourbaki army in 1871 (Franco-Prussian War), it even served as a stable. At that time, over 100 horses and mules were crammed together.

The weir, where the Aare Brügg measuring point is located, is controlled from the control center in the water and energy management office in Bern. It regulates the outflow of the water stored in the Jura border lakes, which fluctuates mainly because of the floods in the Alpine tributaries. According to an agreement between the cantons of Bern, Solothurn and Aargau, the Aare should only carry so much water that at Murgenthal a specified maximum flow rate is not exceeded, which does not yet lead to flooding in the lower reaches of the Aare. With extraordinarily heavy rainfall in the catchment area of the Aare and especially the Emme, which flows in below Solothurn, regulation is not always possible without conflict and in a timely manner, as was shown by a flood on August 8, 2007, when parts of the city of Aarau and the shore zones of several villages in were flooded in the cantons of Solothurn and Aargau.
