Inleiding
Van het klokkenmakersstadje tot de graanschuur van de regio Neuchâtel. De route gaat door een voor de kalksteen van de Jura-keten typische kloof. Afdaling naar Val de Ruz door een schaduwrijk bos. Boven de vlakte van de Chasseral torent een grote antenne.
Beschrijving
St. Imier is located in the Bernese Jura, nestled between Mont Soleil and the Chasseral. The townscape is predominantly urban and industrial. After three fires and its development by the watch industry, only a few old buildings remain, including the former collegiate church from the 11th century and the tower of St. Martin. The first hour to Sonvilier is walked mostly on a paved road which changes to a gravel road shortly before Renan. After La Liodironde, back on a paved road, you can again enjoy the panoramic view of the alps on a clear day.
In the meantime, the mountains of Cernier and Chézard emerge. Because of the altitude, agricultural farming is not as intensive here as in the midlands, which is why a so-called bocage landscape has been maintained. This ancient cultural landscape is mainly known from Normandy and gives an impression of remoteness in the otherwise densely populated country of Switzerland. It consists of numerous pastures which are bordered by hedges and rows of trees and accessed by a dense network of paths. A map from around 1840 shows that the landscape at that time has hardly changed since then. The paths laid out here often represent plot boundaries and are lined with dry stone walls and shrubbery.
You descend through a stretch of forest to end the rather short hike a little later in Chézard St. Martin. The village lies at the foot of the Mont d'Amin, embedded in the charming landscape of the Val-de-Ruz.
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.
