    Hiking

    On November 1, 1909, the weir in the Engehalde was inaugurated and the Aare was dammed over a length of around three kilometers.

    This was the first time there was a rowable area in Bern.

    But first the First World War, the national strike and the difficult years afterwards had to be survived before the enthusiasts who had been rowing on Lake Thun until then got up and founded their own rowing club in Bern. (cit. ROWING Club Bern)
