The «Herzschlaufe Langnau» is an ode to the Emmental: versatile, vast, and extremely abundant. From the green hills in Eggiwil and the unexpected castles in Konolfingen to the secret crests in Oberthal, you’ll experience an Emmental more beautiful than you could ever possibly imagine. Fresh country air fills your lungs and cycling is poetry once more. It’s not without reason that this area is called «Hügu Himu» (heaven of hills).

Tip from the author

At Hünigen Castle you can either get married or enjoy a refreshment.
