Gürbetaler Höhenweg (Switzerland Mobility 380) - Beware detour

The starting point of this hike is Kehrsatz. After a short climb on the flank of the Längenberg, the Gürbetaler Höhenweg leads with slight ups and downs on natural paths through fertile land and bright forests. A dreamy, intact landscape lies before the hiker and in the background, the snow-covered mountains rise into the sky. Old, flower-decorated farmhouses line the way.

An attraction along the way is, for example, the hamlet of Fallenbach, probably the best-preserved hamlet on the Längenberg. Picnic areas, benches, and several inns recommend themselves for a break.

Already near the end point of the hike lies the village of Riggisberg. The Lake Thun is also visible. The Gürbetaler Höhenweg passes here by the internationally outstanding Textile Museum of the Abegg Foundation.

The Gürbetaler Höhenweg was shortened in 2022. The section between Riggisberg and Wattenwil is no longer marked with the “Gürbetaler Höhenweg signet.”
