It may be nothing special for someone, but for others it is something special every day. Whoever keeps their eyes and soul open will always find something to find, to observe, to admire. If you have time to stop and enjoy the atmosphere, to observe the reflections on the water, to find fish in the Aare, to catch a glimpse of a duck family, to observe the bank plants - the diverse life all around... And it is a pleasure to be able to and be allowed to be here!

Ideal for a Sunday outing, on foot or by bike. Right next to the tower, the café "backparadies.ch" can be recommended (it's open on Sundays). Very close to the tower, there is a large fountain to refill the (bike) water bottles ;).

I also recommend this footbridge for a hassle-free crossing of the Reuss. It is gladly used by hikers as well as cyclists and joggers. Very beautiful view from the footbridge onto the Reuss and good connection to the many trails nearby. I particularly like the trail along the Reuss downstream on the right bank.

The bridge was built in two parts, one for motor vehicles, and the narrower one for pedestrians and hikers. It is very generously built, so that three bicycles can meet at the same level at the same time. From the bridge, a wonderful view of the Aare river and the renaturalized riverbank area.
