Lekker stad om met de fiets te ontdekken. Geen groot maar wel gezellig centrum. Wel prijzig.

Το σιντριβάνι βρίσκεται ανάμεσα στα κτίρια στο Spitalgasse Νο. 16 και Νο. 17. Ο αυλητής βλέπει δυτικά. Δημιουργήθηκε από τον Hans Gieng το 1545/46 και ονομαζόταν αρχικά Storchenbrunne. Η φιγούρα απεικονίζει μια γκάιντα , μια αναπαράσταση της χαλκογραφίας του Dürer του 1514 The Bagpiper. Το δίκτυο πόσιμου νερού από την Energie Wasser Bernτροφοδοτεί το πηγάδι με πόσιμο νερό , η ποιότητα του οποίου ελέγχεται τακτικά.
