L'Areuse–Emme–Sihl
Overzicht
Inleiding
Opnieuw volgt het schilderachtige panorama van de oude binnenstad van Bern en de verre besneeuwde bergen, daarna volgt de route de overwegend rustige rivier de Emme door woeste ooibossen en statig Emmentaler boerenland, waar Gotthelf de boeren de oproerwet las en gerechtigheid werd toegediend in het kasteel Trachselwald.
Beschrijving
The stage leads past the Federal Palace, where the Swiss government meets with Parliament, and over the Kirchenfeld Bridge into the Kirchenfeld district. You have a great view of the Aare and across to the old town from here. After leaving the city, you go through short stretches of forest and fields towards Konolfingen.
The landscape is now becoming increasingly rural and alternates between forest sections, fields and small villages. You go deeper and deeper into the Emmental. The Emmental extends from the Lower Emmental to Emmental proper in the Napfberg region. Geographically, the Lower Emmental is part of the central plateau and has a rich settlement history, while the Emmental proper is part of the Alemannic colonisation area. Characterised historically by agriculture, crafts and later by industry, the economic centre shifted from farm areas to villages in the valley from the 19th century onwards, which led to a redistribution of population and economy. In Schüpbach, this stage reaches the Emme, which now accompanies you for a large part of the way.
At Emmenmatt, the route briefly follows the main road. You leave the Emme again in the nearby village of Ramsei. The path leads through Grünenmatt and bypasses the nearby Trachselwald forest, which is worth a detour. Trachselwald Castle, which was built by barons in the 12th and 13th centuries, rises above the village. It took on its current form after being renovated in the 1950s. The castle can be visited, and the castle courtyard and garden are open to the public.
The cycle path continues along the Griesbach through the municipality of Sumiswald. The farm region specialises in livestock and dairy farming as well as seed production. You drive through a landscape of farmlands and fields as far as Dürrenroth. The last part of this stage leads through the Huttwilwald forest to the finish in Huttwil or “Huttu”, as it is known in Bernese German.
De sleutel voor een prettige wandeltocht is onder andere een zorgvuldige planning. Win op voorhand inlichtingen in bij de plaatselijke informatiedienst over de toestand van het traject en de weersomstandigheden. Afhankelijk van het seizoen en de weersomstandigheden kan de route gesloten of onderbroken zijn.
