The old town of Burgdorf, consisting of the upper town and the lower town, is beautifully situated on the river Emme. The mighty Burgdorf Castle towers majestically over the town.

View of Die Lueg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lueg is also suitable for those who are not so fit, as the landscape is very beautiful and is never longer than 1 kilometer uphill, a bit frequented on weekends, but the view is just awesome!

Panoramic View of the Emmental

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you're lucky, you can actually enjoy a 360-degree view. But you don't always get to see our three most beautiful peaks in the Bernese Alps, the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau. Today was another day like that!

Emme Covered Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful example of a covered wooden bridge, as is often found in Switzerland. This one is special, however, because it is the longest wooden arch bridge in Europe.
