On a small hill above Fahrni, the Eduard Imhof Memorial commemorates the famous Swiss cartographer and relief artist 🗺️📚. Imhof shaped Swiss cartography like no other with his three-dimensional, hand-drawn relief maps. Highlights: ✅ Quiet, historic site with views of the Bernese Alps ✅ Small memorial with an information panel about the man and his work ✅ Ideal as a short detour during bike or hiking tours around Heimenschwand, Steffisburg, or Röthenbach Recommendation: Take a short break, learn about Swiss map history, and enjoy the view 👀🌄. Not an official rest area, but very quiet.

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

Beautiful barbecue spot at Blauseeli in Uttigen

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.

A memorial to a pioneer in surveying technology

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.

Railway bridge over the Aare on the Bern - Thun route, near Uttigen. Below her is the Uttigerwelle, which is notorious among the "Aareböötler". This has capsized many a rubber boat and caused an unwanted cooling.
