The Wachseldornmoos is a protected raised bog above Heimenschwand – a quiet, mystical place with a rustic moor landscape, rare plants, and a peaceful atmosphere. Highlights: ✅ Untouched nature & typical raised bog vegetation ✅ Beautiful circular trail (approx. 1.5–2 km) Accessibility: Can be reached on foot from Heimenschwand or Wachseldorn in approx. 30–45 minutes – also easily combined with a bike (e.g., on tours towards Aeschlenalp or Falkenfluh).

The Glütschbach or valley was the riverbed of the Kander until 1714. This also explains the deep incision for this small stream.

On Saturdays and Sundays the Waxeldornmoos is occupied by hikers, better to visit with MTB on weekdays

To describe the hike as moderate is "exaggerated". The term light is more appropriate. You always walk along the Glütschbach, which flows from Reutigen to Uttigen and there into the Aare. What many people don't know is that the Glütschbach is the old course of the Kander river before the Kander was diverted into Lake Thun with a puncture at the beginning of the 18th century, which in turn caused many floods in Thun. In any case, the hike through Glütschbachtäli is pure relaxation - except that the noise from the motorway is a bit disturbing. If you start in Allmendingen, you can easily hike to Hani. Since the flow speed of the creek is very low, children can play safely on and in the creek and launch their own boats (tree bark and pieces of wood). If you are lucky, you can watch the beaver below the stalactite caves as they cut down trees, strengthen their dams and expand their castle more and more.
