A place to marvel at what nature does

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.

A beautiful, well-paved road with great views over the valley. A highly recommended alternative to Cantonal Road 10.

One of many wonderful Emmental hills. The paved road to the Glichenberg-Turner Pass is virtually traffic-free. The climb is moderate and entertaining. The roads wind beautifully along the hills. Once at the top, the panorama opens up towards Entlebuch and the Emmental valley – magnificent!

The cycleway from Entlebuch to Escholzmatt is on a complete asphalted surface with small minor rough spots but very good. Enjoy the beautiful agricultural landscape with the mountains in the background. If one gets tired and fears the climb up to the Schallenberg Pass, don‘t worry, there is a train passing by every hour.

After Entlebuch the separate cycleway with good asphalted surface with a few small topical repair needed but only in certain places. It would be nice if the authorities marked this as a cycleway as it is really had to distinguish if it is a cycleway or pedestrian way. The landscape is very beautiful along this route with Brienzer Rothorn to the south, Pilatus to the East. The valley have a lot of agriculture and the villages are beautiful. What is extremely nice here, Swiss cuisine. One can find Swiss cuisine here everywhere. A treat for the taste buds.

For the most part of the climb, there is an separate asphalted cycleway running parallel to the main road. This road offers many views of the many mountain chains like Pilatus and Brienzer Rothorn,.
