Tip 46: Three Lakes Region

Search Switzerland for

Murten and Lake Murten, Pays de Fribourg
 
From mediaeval Murten to 2,000 year old Avenches and back again. Cycling around the Three Lakes Region is such fun that it won't be the last time you do so.
Protecting and sheltering the small town of Murten for already 800 years, the almost intact town walls no longer keep out invaders, rather welcome visitors into the town. Walk along the walls - the only passable ring walls left in Switzerland - and admire the views of the old town and the nearby lake.
Cover wonderful routes around the lake by bike, and discover the more gentle side of the Swiss veloland trails. The only challenge on the route is the short but steep 220m ascent of Mont Vully, but the effort is well worth your while. Enjoy the 360° panorama from up above and the fun descent back down to the lake. In the Roman town of Avenches, explore 2,000 years of living history, starting with the unique amphitheatre, where singers and musicians perform under the stars to this day.
