A wonderful gem in the immediate vicinity of Herzogenbuchsee. Water frogs croak around the weather. The divers proudly show off their four young, which, intriguingly, have red heads, while their parents, typical of divers, have white "mirrors" vertically across their foreheads and noses. Highly recommended if, like me, you're out on your new eBike for the first time, to experience all the features an eBike offers, such as: Rohloff gears, automatic seat post, ABS brakes, Komoot, no wait: Simply everything you've known from your "biobike" for 60 years, and now feels wonderful with electric assistance. And: If you wanted, you could also go 45 km/h. But 36 km/h in Bosch Limit mode, i.e. 11 km/h entirely under your own muscle power, is all the more fun, and in weather made for the gods.

The Burgäschisee, sometimes also simply Aeschisee, lies on the canton border of the cantons of Bern and Solothurn, with around two thirds on the Solothurn canton area. The lake is located in the municipalities of Aeschi (SO) and Seeberg (BE) at an altitude of 465 meters above sea level. The lake is fed by the Füürstein Canal, while the Seebach flows out. The natural lake is almost 700m long and 500m wide and is surrounded by a forest and reeds. The lake is located in a nature reserve.

The small pond can hardly be seen when driving past. It's a bit hidden in the curve. Now fenced in, it offers a home to some ducks in summer. In addition, beautiful plants grow around the pond. A little highlight that changes its "look" with every season. If you take a break here, with a bit of luck you can observe various animals.

At this point you have the best perspective of the beautiful Bellacher Weiher. So it's worth a short stop here. Here you have direct access to the water. With a bit of luck, you will see toads and blindworms here - in addition to water birds. Very rarely an adder. In autumn you can see strange water birds that stop here on their way to the south.

Small lake with lido and other swimming opportunities. You can walk or ride around on foot or by mountain bike. A well-known restaurant, the "Gasthaus Seeblick am Burgäschisee" is highly recommended!
