Gürbetaler Höhenweg
The Gürbetaler Höhenweg is a 27 km long hiking trail in the Swiss Gantrisch Nature Park , in the greater Bern area, above the Gürbe River .
The starting point of this hike is Kehrsatz . After a short ascent on the flank of the Längenberg , the Gürbetaler Höhenweg leads gently up and down on nature trails through fertile land and light forests. In the background the mountains of snow rise into the sky. Old, flower-adorned farmhouses line the path. One of the attractions on the way is the hamlet of Falebach, probably the best preserved hamlet on the Längenberg.
The village of Riggisberg is already near the end of the hike . The Gürbetaler Höhenweg leads past the internationally outstanding textile museum of the Abegg Foundation . The last section down to Wattenwil leads partly over a section of the Way of St. James .
The hike takes about 7.5 hours and can be divided into any number of stages. Depending on the starting point / destination, the route can be reached by S-Bahn or Postbus from Bern.
