トゥーンの天然記念物・トップ20

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

Beautiful and little-frequented summit with panoramic views

The Wachseldornmoos is a protected raised bog above Heimenschwand – a quiet, mystical place with a rustic moor landscape, rare plants, and a peaceful atmosphere. Highlights: ✅ Untouched nature & typical raised bog vegetation ✅ Beautiful circular trail (approx. 1.5–2 km) Accessibility: Can be reached on foot from Heimenschwand or Wachseldorn in approx. 30–45 minutes – also easily combined with a bike (e.g., on tours towards Aeschlenalp or Falkenfluh).

Difficult ascent including easy climbing but at the top everything is forgotten, the effort was worth it, the view is amazing.

The eastern entrance to the Schafloch is located directly on the ridge path between the Sigriswiler Rothorn and the Fluhhorn. Unlike the more hidden western entrance, the access here is much easier to spot and easily accessible 🪨👣. ⚠️. The tunnel itself is around 20 meters long, slightly curved, and cannot be traversed without light – a headlamp is recommended 🔦! Special feature: At the eastern exit, a spectacular view of the Justistal and the Bernese Alps awaits you ⛰️👀 – ideal for a short break or a panoramic photo 📸.

The Sigriswiler Rothorn (2,051 m) is an impressive vantage point high above Lake Thun ⛰️🌊. The ascent is mostly along the ridge and requires surefootedness and a head for heights ⚠️🥾 – caution is advised, especially in wet conditions. At the top, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic 360° panorama: views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, the Mittelland, and Lake Brienz and Lake Thun 🏔️👀 – ideal for a summit rest and impressive photos 📸. Equipment: Sturdy hiking boots, weather protection 🧥, provisions 🥪, water 💧. No food or drink options along the way. Recommendation: Set off early ⏰, and avoid the ridge in uncertain weather. An absolutely worthwhile summit for experienced hikers!

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 🏞️.

A headlamp must be taken with you in any case.
