The narrow streets lead us down to the Bern Bridge, the only covered wooden bridge in Fribourg. Built in the 13th century, it was sawn down in 1340 to cut off the attacking Bernese. This bridge, the oldest in Fribourg, is listed as a protected structure of national importance by the Federal Inventory of Historic Communication Routes in Switzerland. It is widely used today, including by motorized traffic, so much so that a complete renovation has been decided for 2025.

The Bern Bridge is the only covered wooden bridge in Fribourg. It was built in the 13th century and sawn into pieces in 1340 to block the attacking Bernese. This oldest bridge in Fribourg is listed as a protected structure of national importance in the Federal Inventory of Historic Roads. Unfortunately, it is now also heavily used by motorized traffic, requiring a complete renovation starting in 2025.

In Freiburg, seven sections of the city wall, six towers, five gates and a bulwark can be visited. The Bürglentor with the adjacent remains of the city wall with battlement forms a well-preserved and interesting part of the old city fortifications. Climbing the tower is also worthwhile because the tower offers fantastic views of the old town of Freiburg on the bend of the Saane. There are also views of the Poya Bridge in the background and the nearby Zähringer Bridge. Finally, you can look down on the Lorette Chapel near the gate.

Very steep climb from the Sane, but doable.

Beautiful view of the city of Fribourg below the Bürglentor

The Cistercian Abbey of Hauterive was founded in 1138 by William of Glâne. The abbey was abolished in 1848. After a 91-year break, during which Hauterive first housed the cantonal agricultural school and then the teacher training college, monastic life was able to restart in 1939 thanks to the arrival of a group of Austrian monks from the Wettingen-Mehrerau Abbey (Vorarlberg). At the beginning of the 21st century, the abbey has about twenty monks from Switzerland and various European countries. The monastery church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption was built between 1150 and 1160. The arcades of the cloister adjoining the church to the south have been preserved on three sides. The lower parts have Romanesque double columns and round arches and date from the 12th century. The upper arcade openings with tracery are from the 14th century. The cloister is covered with Gothic ribbed vaults.

This is really eye-opening! You don't always see that!

Idyllic Cistercian monastery in a loop of the Saane. Beautiful cloister. Self-service monastery shop and ice cream.
