Aare Gorge - Aareschlucht
The Aare Gorge is a section of the river Aare that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen, Switzerland. As the Ice Age was coming to an end around 10,000 years ago, water from melting glaciers eroded a deep, narrow chasm through the limestone barrier.
Length: 2 kilometers.
Width: Between 30 meters and just 1 meter.
The photo shows one of the narrow sections near the west entrance to the gorge.
