The heat of the sun is captured by the planks. Rubber boats float down the river. Water swivels around the metal poles back into the Aare. Time meanders.

The Bueber is the natural swimming pool in Bern's Marzilibad, which is separated from the Aare by a wooden structure.

Even on cold days, the sun warms enough to shorten the winter for sun-seekers in the shelter of the bathing architecture.

Outside, the Bueber marks the harbor for all Aare boaters coming from Thun.
