Beautiful and easy path along the Emme

Beautiful walk running along the River Emme. This spot between Kirschberg and Burgdorf is exceptionally wild and beautiful, and the path is strewn with wide pebbly beaches, wooden bridges and woods.

The Emme has been extensively renaturalized. A lot has been done from a dreary, straight river from Emmenspitz (Luterbach) to almost Burgdorf. The riverbed has been widened, trees have been cleared, space has been created. It is well worth cycling along it!!

Another beautiful piece of forest path along the Emme. Here you run through shady, fresh forest along the Emme. Fresh and cool forest air provides the mind with a great running experience through lush nature.
