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 beavers have also annexed this gem near Berken. The owner of the pond declared it a protected area to protect the four-legged chainsaw.

The ponds are now also a beaver sanctuary. The construction of this organic Husquarna saw is impressive!

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!
