Dive-site story
Set along a bend of the Aare river north of Bern, Aare Worblaufen provides a continuous drift over gravel beds, submerged boulders, and rock riprap. Downstream navigation demands sharp buoyancy control to track surface traffic like swimmers and inflatable rafts during warm spells. Carved eddies and deep scour pools create natural resting pockets where river fish shelter behind structure.
