The Aare Gorge is a section of the river Aare that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen, in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The gorge is an indirect product of glaciation; 10,000 years ago, just as the Ice Age was coming to an end, torrential runoff water from melting glaciers eroded a deep, narrow chasm through the limestone barrier. Although barely 2 kilometres (1 mi) long, this passage is bordered by sheer cliffs up to 50 m (160 ft) high on either side. The gorge varies in width from some 30 metres (98 ft) at its widest to just 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) at its narrowest. Visitors can walk the gorge on footbridges and through tunnels.
The Aare Gorge is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Switzerland. The river has eaten deep into the rocks. There are many glacial mills - the walls of the gorge are rubbed bare in some places. At a few places the gorge is only a few meters wide - there it is relatively dark - in other places it is wider and the sun falls on the river and the rocks.
It may not be so smart to take photos there - all places have been photographed from all sides by countless visitors. But since my daughter really wanted to go there again, I thought to myself: It's an opportunity - so take pictures!

The Aare Gorge is a section of the river Aare that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen, in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The gorge is an indirect product of glaciation; 10,000 years ago, just as the Ice Age was coming to an end, torrential runoff water from melting glaciers eroded a deep, narrow chasm through the limestone barrier resulting in a gorge which is 1’400 metres long and up to 200 metres deep. The gorge varies in width from some 30 metres at its widest to just 1 metre at its narrowest.
Thanks again for all of your comments -
I appreciate all of them and all of you too!
Sorry, I had Internet problems. Trying to catch up!
De Aareschlucht is een kloof die is uitgesleten door de rivier de Aare. De 'Aareschlucht' ligt bij Meiringen in het Berner Oberland, een streek in het hart van Zwitserland. De kloof wordt doorsneden door de rivier de Aare, waarvan de stroming door de nauwe doorgang sterk verhoogd wordt tot ongeveer 12 km/h op het punt dat de rivier de Aareschlucht verlaat. De lengte van de kloof bedraagt 1400 meter; op het smalste punt is de kloof slechts een meter breed. Het hoogste gedeelte van de kloof is 180 meter boven de rivier.
In 1888 is de kloof toegankelijk gemaakt voor publiek door de aanleg van een pad tussen de rotswanden en in 1912 werd er nachtverlichting aan de kloof toegevoegd. De Aareschlucht is inmiddels een belangrijke toeristische trekpleister voor de regio en is geopend vanaf begin april tot Allerheiligen. De kloof is behalve vanaf de weg ook te bereiken via de korte Spoorlijn Meiringen - Innertkirchen die een tweetal stations heeft in de rotswand langs de kloof: aan de kant van de uitgang bij Meiringen het station Aareschlucht West en bij de oostelijke ingang bij Innertkirchen het station Aareschlucht Ost dat zich in een tunnel in de rotswand bevindt.

Das Rätische Grauvieh war einst weit verbreitet in den Bündner Alpen. Mit der Etablierung des Braunviehs verschwand es, konnte aber aus tiroler Restbeständen wieder angesiedelt werden. Damit blieb ein Stück lebendiges – und heute wieder gefragtes – Kulturgut erhalten. Die Wurzeln des Rätischen Grauviehs liegen weit zurück. Das Torfrind (Bos brachyceros) der Pfahlbauer, die silbergrauen Rinder der Rätier und das Vieh der Kelten, Alemannen und Walser formten diese alte Rasse mit, die somit als eigentliches Kreuzungsprodukt der Völkerwanderung bezeichnet werden kann (ProSpecieRara)
The Rhaetian Grey Cattle was once widespread in the Grisons Alps. With the establishment of the brown cattle it disappeared, but could be resettled from Tyrolean remaining stocks. Thus a piece of living cultural heritage - which is in demand again today - was preserved. The roots of Rhaetian Grey Cattle go back a long way. The short horned cattle (Bos brachyceros) of the pile dwellers, the silver-grey cattle of the Rhaetians and the cattle of the Celts, Alemanni and Walser helped to shape this ancient breed, which can thus be described as the actual cross-breeding product of the migration of peoples (ProSpecieRara; Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
The Aare River is the longest river in Switzerland, rising and ending within the Swiss territory. The entire length of the river, starting from its point of rising to its end, measures up to approximately 183 miles.
The river has its source in the Aar glaciers, and then it runs eastwards to the Grimsel and then goes to the northwest direction along the Haslital. The river then moves towards Lake Brienz and near the west end of the lake, the river meets the Lutschine. The Aare River then crosses the swampy plains and expands to Lake Thun.
Das Häftli ist ein 7 km langer Altwasserarm der Aare zwischen Biel und Büren an der Aare. Es ist ein auenartiges Feuchtgebiet.
Das Häftli ist ein bedeutender Überwinterungs-platz für Wasservögel und ein wichtiger Rückzugsort für Amphibien.
i dont make it with music because sound of the water when you walk there like this enjoy the nature sound watch the link :
