The «Herzschlaufe» Burgdorf leads in an easterly direction into the «Wynigenberge», which offer a labyrinth of small streets, where you can explore with wonder. Along the way, you will pass small sights such as the historic inn «zum wilden Mann» in Ferrenberg or the «Glungge» in Brechershäusern, which served as a backdrop in the Gotthelf film adaptations and still impresses today. The 48 kilometers fly by and offer wonderful opportunities for a drink or a rest with scenic views.

Tip from the author

From the hamlet of Ferrenberg 5 minutes walk to the «Oberbüelchnubel», a hill with a magnificent view.
