The bladder flue , also blister flue or blister flue , is 1118.4  m above sea level. M. the highest elevation of the blistering river hill country . It is located in the bubble forest in the municipal areas of Lauperswil , Signau and Oberthal in the administrative districts of Emmental and Bern-Mittelland in the Swiss canton of Bern .

Geographical location

The bladder river rises west of the Emmental , 7 km west of Langnau in the Emmental . The municipalities of Lauperswil in the northeast, Signau in the southeast and Oberthal in the west have a share in its mountain ridge in the bubble forest; the municipality of Arni lies in the western neighborhood . The summit is located 2 km southwest of the Lauperswil district of Moosegg, 0.7 km north-northeast of the Oberthal hamlet of Hargarte and 2.5 km northwest of the core town of Signau. To the east of the summit there is a surveying point above the Niedermattgraben, which strives eastwards from there, at an altitude of 1115  m ( ) .

Bubble Flue Hill Country

The Blasenflue Hill Country, is one of amongst others, the bubble forest is to the east and north of the Emme , in the southeast of Emme inflow Schüpbachkanal , in the south of the Chise and in the west and northwest of the coming out of the hills Biglenbach limited. It has a west-east extension of 9 km and a north-south extension of 10 km and is therefore almost circular. The bladder river rises in the southern part of this circle. It is the headwaters of numerous streams, which mostly run in deep trenches radially away from the summit to the surrounding larger valley systems. The Goldbach valley and the Nesselngraben drain to the north, the Längenbachgraben, the Niedermattgraben and the Obermattgraben (to the Emme) to the east and southeast, the Schwändigraben and thezazibach (to the Chise) to the south, and the Biglenbach (to the Emme) to the west.

All of these valleys are deeply cut and separated from one another by narrow ridges. Numerous short side valleys and the protruding hill ridges (harrows) in between further subdivide the area and give it the characteristic small-chambered relief with erosion channels and steep slopes, which can also be observed in the neighboring Napfbergland .

The blistering flue hill country reaches an average height between 800 and 950  m above sea level. M. In addition to the Blasenflue include the Ätzlischwandwald with the Ätzlischwand ( 1041  m ) to the northwest, the west-north-west of it lying Geissrüggen ( 1,033  m ) and the west follows it Nünhaupt ( 986  m ) and the striving of the Blasenflue northeast ridge at Lauper Wiler district Moosegg (approx.  950  m ) to the highest hills of the hill country.

The Alpine Panorama Trail leads through the Bubble Flue hill country, the Bubble Forest and over the Bubble Flue .

geology

The Bubble Flue hill country consists of sediment layers of the Upper Freshwater Molasse and the Upper Sea Molasse . These were deposited in the Miocene around 22 to 5 million years ago. At that time, rivers transported large amounts of erosion material from the Alpine region and deposited it in the molasse basin on the northern edge of the Alps. The rock in the area of ​​the bladder river shows a clear stratification. Layers with coarse Nagelfluh conglomerates, which originate from times of increased river activity and severe erosion, alternate with sandstone and marly layers. During the Würm Ice Age , the hill country was only covered with ice in the peripheral areas, so that the typical fluvial erosion relief could develop.

colonization

The region around the bladder river is a typical scattered settlement area. There are various hamlets in the valleys and on the harrows and numerous individual farms scattered across the area. Larger settlements are located in the valley furrows that surround the hill country of the Bubble Flue. The inhabitants live mainly from grass and livestock farming as well as from forestry and wood processing. The hamlet of Moosegg northeast of the Blasenflue is a popular destination with hotels and restaurants and a beautiful view of the Emmental and the silhouette of the Western Alps.

Observation and lookout tower

A wooden observation and lookout tower was built on the bladder river during the First World War . The base of the tower that was later demolished is still there. The possibility of rebuilding has been discussed for several years.
