Pictures from Thun
After flowing into Lake Brienz and through Interlaken, the Aaar river (now free of much of the glacial flour) flows through the city of Thun on its way to Bern. In Thun there are two covered bridges with small dams. There is a rope tied to one of the bridges for surfers.

There are strolling paths on both sides of the river.
Visibility in the river water was about 3 meters (approx. 10 feet).
