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.

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.
