Theme and discovery trails

Summer mountain tips
It doesn't always have to lead to Santiago de Compostela - follow the Route of St. James's Way, or the beautiful "Swiss Route" from Schwarzenburg to Fribourg (around 4½ hours).
Kloster
Climb the 368 steps and you will be rewarded with an unforgettable view of the town of Fribourg.
A magnificent Cistercian abbey 20 minutes away from Fribourg, founded in 1137 by Guillaume de Glâne, leader of the Ecuvillens. Visits are organised on request. The abbey is near the Saint Jacques de Compostelle path.
