Aare canyon in Brugg, Protected natural area in Brugg, Switzerland.
The Aare canyon features limestone formations and footbridges that cross over the flowing waters of the Aare River at 340 meters elevation.
Glacial activity shaped this canyon over thousands of years, with the Aare Glacier carving through the rock to create deep gorges.
The canyon holds national significance as part of Switzerland's Federal Inventory of Landscapes and Natural Monuments, representing natural heritage preservation.
Visitors can access the canyon through east and west entrances, with both points connecting via a hiking path that spans the entire formation.
The canyon's structure creates distinct water soundscapes, from gentle splashing to powerful roars, varying with water levels and seasonal changes.
