The 22-kilometer-long Gantrisch Panorama route definitely lives up to its name. To the south, the peaks of the Gantrisch range, including Nüneneflue, Gantrisch, Bürgle, and Ochse, are within easy reach, while snow-covered Alpine peaks can be seen further away. To the north, the view stretches over the Schwarzenburg region and the Bernese Midlands to Lake Biel and the Jura. On clear days, the view reaches as far as the Feldberg in the Black Forest and the Titlis and Pilatus mountains.

The hike can be started at Zollhaus or Gurnigelbad. The well-maintained trail can be walked in both directions. If the route is too long at once, stages can also be completed. Entry and exit options are available at the Gäggersteg (Rüschegg Schwarzenbühl, Kurhaus), Säftene (hiking bus stop), or at Gurnigel Berghaus (Gurnigel, Berghaus).

The family highlight on the route will definitely be the Gäggersteg. The wooden high bridge leads over the dead wood on the Pfyffe and offers insight into self-generating nature.

Tip from the author

The Gäggersteg is the highlight of this panoramic hike. A insider tip is the sunset at the Hohrbühl pass or near Hällstett.
