Using the bridge costs 8 francs. This bridge is part of the panorama circular hiking trail, which leads around the entire lake of Thun. The view of Lake Thun when the weather is nice is fantastic!

The suspension bridge over the Gummischlucht is just one of seven planned bridges around Lake Thun. Three of them are already built, the longest of which is this over the rubber gorge. Once all seven bridges have been completed, you can hike once around the entire lake on a 56-kilometer trail. 95 percent of the way is already finished, but at the outstanding bridges gullies with sometimes steep ascents and descents have to be overcome.

Gunten is a good starting point with parking facilities. Around the gorge there are several beautiful viewpoints.

The suspension bridge is really spectacular with great views, but nothing for people with vertigo.

The suspension bridge is 340 meters long and up to 180 meters above the canyon floor. From the bridge you can enjoy an incomparable view of the Lake Thun region and the Bernese Alps. However, if you want to capture this wonderful panorama with a camera, you need a good stand. Because the bridge sways a little, almost like on a lurching ship. A bridge toll is due on the Sigriswiler side.

If you are not completely free from vertigo, you should choose a time when few (or no) people are on the bridge. Then the suspension bridge moves less. I found it uncomfortable that the suspension bridge 'yawed' in the second half (soft, squeaky noise). Then I just sang a song 😉.

A wonderful view over the rubber gorge ... If there are several people on the bridge, it can easily start to swing. This can cause a bad feeling at first 🙈

Small fee to cross the bridge at Sigriswil, better to become a member for a year.

340 m long and 180 m above ground. Great views. Day ticket for 8 CHF, half price with a guest card. Amazing views, especially when the mountains are still covered with snow.

Not for the faint of heart, up to 182m over the abyss and 340m long, but is rewarded with a wonderful view.
