메타우에르탈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 협곡

June 29, 2025: I hiked up the Murg Valley Trail. It's completely passable again. It's actually in the shade—very pleasant in the 30+°C.

I drove up and down the Murg Valley. It was pleasantly cool in the summer.

So much beauty, practically on your doorstep.

Not really the Aare Gorge, but with a little imagination, if you ignore the rows of houses, there are certainly similarities😂🤣

⚠️ Please note ⚠️ You must not believe the hiking signs. If you follow the hiking signs you ONLY get to the viewing platform "Teufelskueche" and it is above the "Teufelskuechen- Badestelle". You can NOT get to the water from the platform, only from the street side (L154). There is also a small parking area for about 3 cars.

The Romans recognized and took advantage of the fact that this is the narrowest point on the Aare between Lake Thun and the confluence of the Aare and the Rhine. Here they could connect the two banks with a single tree trunk. The resulting bridge became an important part of the road connection from Vindonissa to Augusta Raurica.

The narrowest point between Lake Thun and the confluence of the Aare and Rhine. The Romans built the first bridges here, connecting two sides with a single trunk. The bridge built in this way was an important part of the road connection between Vindonisa and Augusta Raurica.

The Aare Gorge in Brugg is 1400 m long. 15 m wide at the narrowest point, where it reaches a depth of 17 m and is therefore deeper than wide. The Romans already built the first bridges here that were protected from flooding. The houses in the old town are built directly on the rocks, making the gorge appear deeper. Always impressive to observe this integrated architecture of man and nature from the old bridge.
