A wooden bridge has been connecting historic Büren with the district of Reiben north of the Aare since the 13th century. Since then, the wooden structure has been destroyed eight times by floods, ice or fire. [4] For example by the Bernese troops when the French invaded in 1798. It was rebuilt in 1821. [5]

In the course of the Jurassic conflict, Büren, as the capital of the then still existing administrative district of Büren, was the scene several times. In November 1987, alleged Béliers carried out an arson attack on the wooden bridge, which however failed.

Another arson attack led to the complete destruction of the bridge on April 5, 1989. Shortly after 4 a.m., the historic river crossing was in full fire. In order to delay the fire brigade, strangers glued the locks in the fire brigade magazine with glue. 150 emergency services from Büren and the surrounding communities fought the full fire, but were ultimately only able to save the soil structure, so that at least a footbridge could be built over the destroyed bridge shortly after the fire. The arsonists were never caught, but due to the similarity to the attack in 1987, they are most likely also to be assigned to the Béliers. In 1991 the new building, the ninth bridge, was opened to traffic

Büren an der Aare is located - as the name suggests - on the river Aare. Büren was founded in the 12th century by the Barons of Strassberg.
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.

Very nice old wooden bridge that can be admired from the ship.

Ideal for a short biker break. A small, cozy, slightly hidden place right on the river bank with a view of the Aare. There is a fire pit and a massive bench.
