Built in 1924 to replace a suspension bridge, the Zähringer Bridge spans the Saane River and offers a picturesque view of the Lower Town. Since 2014, when motorized traffic was primarily diverted to the new Poya Bridge, the Zähringer Bridge has been reserved for buses, bicycles, and pedestrians.

Built in 1924 to replace a suspension bridge, the bridge spans the Sarine River and offers a bucolic view of the Lower Town. Since the transfer of motorized traffic to the new Poya Bridge in 2014, the Zähringen Bridge has been reserved for buses, bicycles, and pedestrians.
