View of Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel from Mont Vully

Highlight • Viewpoint

Besides the great view, Mont Vully (German Wistenlacherberg) also offers historical fortifications and various opportunities to relax at different rest stops. That's why the strenuous climb is always worth it.

April 29, 2024,Murten Mont Vully

Around Lake Murten: lots of nature, but also the smell of pesticides from fields and vineyards.
Good test for our ebikes: on Mont Vully it's a steep climb. Fantastic view over lakes and mountains

Nice outing as a couple, despite sunless weather for a walk around Lake Morat, taking advantage of the Chablais area, a marshy place at the end of the lake towards Morat, taking as much as possible the small paths serving very pretty places.😉

Nice tour with the e-bike around Lake Murten. With historical highlights.

Today we took Lake Murten "under our wheels" again. However, we have already cycled the usual classic around the lake several times. To make today's tour a little more exciting, we included the Avanches archaeological site and Mont Vully.
