View of the Kander Gorge from Hanissteg

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you choose the cycle path from Zwieselberg to Spiez, you will come here via the Hanissteg. A grating bridge, which is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, leads over the Kander, which leads in a furrowed riverbed to the Kanderdelta at Lake Thun. The view upstream is blocked by a thick water pipe.
