The Lorraine Bad features a simple, wooden pavilion perched directly above the Aare river. Built in nineteen forty-nine, this public river bath offers a direct entry point into the swift, turquoise current that cuts through Bern. Swimmers use the wooden deck to prepare for a jump into the water, while the gravel banks underneath provide space for sunbathing. Every spring, the city crews assemble the structures by hand, maintaining a seasonal rhythm that has defined the riverbank for over seventy years.
