Bärau (Schweizer Mittelland)
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Visitors to the bell foundry in Berger in Bärau can now cast their own bells. The first job is to decorate the sand moulds, after which guests are taken on a tour of the foundry while the metal is being heated up to 1100 degrees. Once it is molten, the bells are cast and just a short time later can be admired as unique works of craftsmanship.

Biel (Schweizer Mittelland)
No one is too young to go to sea! On this boat trip on Lake Bienne, children can get a taste of what it means to be at the helm. Those who sign up in advance not only get to visit the captain on the bridge, but can also have a go at steering the boat on their own – at the helm and with the captain’s cap on their head! So if that’s not enough to fire a young sea pup’s imagination, what is?
Emmental (Schweizer Mittelland)
The last Wednesday of every month is open-door day at the Zollbrück bakery in the Emmental. Here, visitors can learn all about the history and manufacture of the famous Bärner Ankezüpfe – traditional Bernese plait – and even try their hand at making one too! Once their souvenir plaits are in the oven, guests can also go on a tour of the show bakery.
