Enchanted place in the Bremgarten forest

A truly beautiful bridge to admire with its magnificent arches. Plus: a fantastic barbecue and picnic area right on the water, with a bistro (during the season) and restrooms. A prime location for a quick refreshment break and/or a swim in Lake Wohlen or the Aare.

You can drive through the Bremgarten forest on the Wohlenstrasse, which is car-free. On a distance of around 3.5km, you have to overcome 70m of elevation from Hinterkappeln to Bern. But you hardly notice this at all, as the fresh forest air and the beauty of nature keep you energized.
