Catastrophe strikes hardest in Bern
From September 22, 2026, a swimming and boating ban will be enforced on a key urban swimming area in Bern, Switzerland. The affected section of the Aare river, which has given Bern its international reputation as the 'capital of urban swimming,' stretches from the Eichholz Campsite to the Marzili Bath.
The ban, which will last for approximately eight months, was imposed due to construction works. Although the specific authority that enacted the ban is not explicitly named in the sources, it will affect both swimming and boating activities on the river section.
The prohibition of swimming will commence on September 22, 2026, while the prohibition of boating will follow suit from the same date in 2026. The ban will remain in effect until the end of May.
This ban marks a significant disruption to the usual activities on the river, which is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to enjoy the water during the warmer months. However, the construction works are necessary to ensure the safety and maintenance of the area for future use.
As the ban comes into effect, those who enjoy swimming and boating in the area are advised to plan alternative activities or visit other swimming spots in Bern during the ban period. The authorities will be enforcing the ban strictly to ensure the safety of all users and the successful completion of the construction works.
