The region of Bern is full of exciting contrasts
The fact that Bern’s clocks run a bit slower is a well-known fact far beyond the region’s borders. Taking a stroll through the charming, narrow streets of Bern’s UNESCO-listed old town is almost like being on holidays.
This becomes apparent when you cycle along the Green Belt, a cycling route that leads through the villages and municipalities around Bern. On the Friensiberg Scenic Route you’re far away from the chaos of everyday life. People from Bern like to say: “Nume nid gsprängt” (“no need to rush”). But why would you rush when everything is so wonderfully relaxed? The castle and the charming timber-framed houses in Laupen are witnesses to times past, inviting you to take a break. The “Tales of the Gantrisch” route in the Nature Park Gantrisch is when things get really idyllic. You can listen to the local legends along the way, forget about your everyday life and dream of histories from days gone by.
Day 1 Journey to Bern | Bern–Wattenwil
Luggage drop-off in Bern. After a few pedal strokes, you’ll leave the bustling city centre behind you to circumnavigate the suburbs on the quiet side roads of cycling route 888 (the Green Belt).
A magnificent panoramic view of the snow-covered peaks of the Bernese Oberland will open up before you. From Münsingen, you’ll follow the route Bern South and cross the Gürbe valley before driving up to a sunny farm above Wattenwil.
Day 2 Wattenwil–Rüeggisberg
Today, while following the “Tales of the Gantrisch” route, you will discover the Nature Park Gantrisch. On the way, tales about memorable places, adventurous experiences, and historical events will teach you about regional legends.
All of the information is in Swiss German or French, and harmoniously presented at six interactive exploration sites. This exciting day ends in Rüeggisberg.
Day 3 Rüeggisberg–Laupen
Cycle along the foothills of the Längen mountain to reach Niederwangen. This is where the Laupen Historical Loop starts. Keep in mind that the clocks run differently along this route. What’s most important here is taking your time, taking breaks, and slowing down. Laupen, where you’ll be spending the night, wholeheartedly embodies this motto.
Day 4 Laupen–Bern
Past Lake Wohlen and up to the Friensiberg recreation area. The scenic route hits you with another panoramic view of the Alps before you’ll leisurely follow the Green Belt back to the federal city of Bern. After arriving in Bern, it’s time to collect your luggage and get on your way home.
