Through Bern by wheelchair: find toilets and drinking fountains

How it works

1. At the top, switch on the groups you need: “Wheelchair toilet” (Rollstuhl-WC) or “Drinking fountain (wheelchair accessible)”.
2. Tap “Nearest toilet” (Nächstes WC). The app shows the distance and the walking route with walking time.
3. “Route” opens the directions, “Route in OSM” opens the route in OpenStreetMap.

What you see on the map

The map only shows places that are explicitly marked as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. The number next to each group shows how many points are currently visible. “Nearest toilet” searches all groups that are switched on. If you only want a toilet, switch the others off first.

The group “Bench with armrests” is empty at the moment, because hardly any such benches in Bern are recorded in OpenStreetMap yet. Once someone adds them, they appear after the next update.

Details for each point

Tap a point to see what is recorded: whether the toilet is free or paid, whether there is a baby changing table, whether it is part of “Nette Toilette” and, if listed, the opening hours. For two toilets it says that they are usually closed during events at the Stade de Suisse.

Where does the data come from?

From OpenStreetMap (ODbL). No tracking: only the routing service gets your location, and only the start and end of the walk. If a place is missing or something is wrong, correct it directly in OpenStreetMap.
