Distance 41 km

Intro
By way of Uetendorfberg to Wattenwil on the River Gürbe. From here to the northern slopes of the Stockhorn range, with beautiful views of the Stockental valley and Bernese Alps. Riding through the Seeliswald nature reserve will take you to the Glütschbachtal valley.
Description
Hilly at first, past Geistsee lake to the Gürbe. Follow the river to Wattenwil and ride along the left side of the valley with scenic views of the Gürbetal valley and Bernese Alps to Blumenstein. The route briefly follows the Stockental Hausweg theme trail with its well-preserved houses.
The branch-off to Blumenstein church appears at the upper edge of the village. The short but brief ascent is worthwhile – the sight of the pretty group of the church, cemetery and ancillary building are well worth the effort.
Take the main road from Pohlern to Niederstocken. Continue through the Seeliswald, a small, protected upland moor with carnivorous sundew, to the Glütschbachtal valley. At its centre you will find an attractive waterside barbecue and recreation area. The last section follows Lakes Amsoldingen and Uebeschi back to Uetendorf. The church at Amsoldingen with its (privately owned) castle is well worth a visit.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
