Top 9 Caves ファーニでの

The hiking trail to the Sigriswiler Rothorn comes close to the tunnel entrance. However, the trail turns left 50 meters before that.

The western entrance to the Schafloch is located slightly below the ridge and is easy to miss 👀 – pay attention to the trail markings! The entrance is via a short, steep path that can be slippery when wet ⚠️🥾. From here, the natural rock tunnel leads about 20m through the mountain – a fascinating experience 🪨⛰️. View: Right at the western portal, there is a magnificent view of Lake Thun and the Mittelland 🌄🌊 – be sure to pause for a moment and enjoy! Equipment: Sturdy hiking boots 🥾, possibly poles 🦯. A headlamp 🔦 is useful, as it is quite dark inside the tunnel. A cell phone 📱light will not suffice 😉. Safety: Not suitable in heavy rain or snow – the tunnel floor can become slippery. Recommended only for sure-footed hikers with a head for heights ⚠️. Special feature: The tunnel was formed by geological processes and is a rare natural phenomenon in Switzerland. It is one of the highlights of the Sigriswil ridge hike 🏞️.

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

Relaxed, shady rest area with a cave feeling.

Has fire pits, a small stream and two grottos, pleasantly cool temperatures. Sometimes quite crowded on weekends.

Such a beautiful place to linger, enjoy, have a picnic... just make sure you don't bring any ticks with you.

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.

The approximately 1000 m long walkable, publicly accessible tunnel crosses under the Sigriswilgrat at the Sigriswiler Rothorn. It can be reached both from the south-east from the Justistal and from the Zettenalp on the north-western side of the ridge. The sheephole was visited on September 5, 1822 by the later General Guillaume-Henri Dufour, who published a report about it. In 1884, the cave was measured by engineers from Bern, and during World War II it was expanded by the Swiss Army to become a Schafloch lock-up point. You should definitely take a lamp with you into the tunnel, it is pitch dark inside.
