The longest river entirely within the Swiss borders, the Aare begins its course in the Berner Alpen. The river winds its way through central and northern Switzerland, passing through the town of Interlaken between the lakes Brienzersee and Thunersee. Surrounding the old section of the city of Bern on three sides, the Aare then passes through canals at Lake Biel before joining the Rhine near the town of Waldshut-Tiengen, Germany. Leave a Comment

 View from a Bridge near the Einstein Museum by riorich55 The Aare River surrounds the city of Bern on 3 sides which during the main construction of the city during the 12th to 15th centuries provided the city with a natural defense system. During the summer months the residents take a plunge in the river and let the swift currents guide them down the river. I've seen some video footage of this and grabbing onto a pole like object near some exit point looked like it took some agility to do. The picture shown here was taken from the Kirchenfeldbrucke Bridge which crosses over from the old part of the city toward the Albert Einstein Museum.

by Rhondaj Make sure that you don't get so caught up in the maze of shopping streets, that you don't get to the river. Postgasse, Gerechtigkeitsgasse, and Junkerngasse all meet at the Nydeggbruecke. Lovely view--have your camera ready! Leave a Comment

by feline01 Swimming in the River Aare. Not far from the youth hostel there are public baths where you can suit up and hit the river. The river is a gorgeous blue fed from the Alps with smooth rocks on the bottom. The current is wicked and you must be a good swimmer to go in. The current is so powerful that it sort of pushes you down the river vertically. It was like a giant jacuzzi. Felt great and truly refreshing on a hot day. Great way to wash those t-shirts that you've been wearing for a few days too many. If you can see those bars hanging in the middle of the river in the photo, they are for water-skiers to practice, it is one strong current!! Leave a Comment
