スキッフェネン湖のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The narrow streets lead us down to the Bern Bridge, the only covered wooden bridge in Fribourg. Built in the 13th century, it was sawn down in 1340 to cut off the attacking Bernese. This bridge, the oldest in Fribourg, is listed as a protected structure of national importance by the Federal Inventory of Historic Communication Routes in Switzerland. It is widely used today, including by motorized traffic, so much so that a complete renovation has been decided for 2025.

This oldest bridge in Fribourg is listed as a protected structure of national importance in the Federal Inventory of Historic Roads. Unfortunately, it is now also heavily used by motorized traffic, requiring a complete renovation starting in 2025.

Very nice hike 👍

There is a great, bilingual book about the creation of the Schiffenen reservoir, over which the viaduct runs, with many pictures of the time before the Saane was dammed. It also has portraits of contemporary witnesses who had roots in the Saane valley. The book was published in 2012 by the O.S.K.A.R. association. Orders can be placed on the website: www.verein-oskar.ch

Beautiful path on foot or by bike

When the weather is good, you can enjoy great views of the Alps to the east and south!

The path between the large railway viaduct and the castle in Balliswil leads through a beautiful, old avenue.

The castle in the hamlet of Balliswil is a country estate of the Montenach family. The largely intact, impressive ensemble of the country estate consists of a manor house, a tenant's house, a chapel and an outbuilding. Three avenues lead to the hamlet. Unfortunately, a tour is not possible. The entire property is largely surrounded by a wall.
