Mostly above the fog

The Church of Würzbrunnen is a former pilgrimage church in the municipality of Röthenbach im Emmental, Canton of Bern, Switzerland. The church was dedicated to St. Stephen, but the pilgrimage was actually to St. Wolfgang. A wooden church, believed to have been founded by Leuthold von Rümligen (1115–1148), previously stood on the site of the current late Gothic church building. In 1148, Pope Eugene III confirmed Rüeggisberg Abbey's ownership rights to the Church of Würzbrunnen and the small Röthenbach Abbey. After a fire in 1494, the church was rebuilt in its present form, and in 1779 the interior was decorated in Baroque style with numerous biblical paintings. The church became particularly well-known through Franz Schnyder's film adaptations of Gotthelf's works. Today, it is a popular wedding venue, hosting numerous ceremonies from April to October.

It is a really beautiful section with its small river

🕍 Built in 1693–94, presumably according to plans by the renowned architect Abraham II Dünz. Unfortunately, the construction was also financed with confiscated Anabaptist property from the region. In 1871, the hall church received a neo-Romanesque front tower with an octagonal spire and three bells, designed by the architect Jakob Merz. The tower stands out vividly from the masonry with its twin windows, round-arch friezes, and cornices. During the renovation in 1977, the Baroque interior was restored in the style of the sermon hall, with a simple wooden ceiling and grisaille painting by Christian Stucki, as well as the original baptismal font (Dünz).

The best dried meat in the world, yogi drinks to wake up tired hikers and nice entertainment. Truly a highlight.

I find the last 2-3 km in Eriz very beautiful. The valley "opens up" and gives the beautiful nature the space it needs. You can linger at the foot of the Zulg.

There is so much to tell about each of the 18 bridges, including the Dörfli Bridge in Eggiwil. An "old" bridge built using very modern wood construction technology, which has attracted and continues to attract a great deal of attention beyond our national borders. If you want to find out more about all of these wooden bridges, simply enter "Emmentaler Holzbrückenweg" into Google and you will be taken to this website.

From the shady bench under the green branches of the trees you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Bernese mountain landscape.
