In addition to its scenic beauty, the Kaltbrunnental Valley is a great outdoor playground for families. The stream offers fun activities and children's canyoning, easy access to the water, and barbecue areas are available. A hot tip, especially in summer.

A place with history…

The rock paintings were created during the First World War, when the strategically important valley with railway and road at Chessiloch was guarded by the military.

Already 12,000 years ago, gatherers and hunters used the protection of the caves in Chessiloch.

A place with a lot of history, charisma and beautiful nature. You should bring some time for this tour.

A hike through the Chaltbrunnen Valley offers a fascinating mix of nature and history. A highlight of the hike is the Wappenfelsen right at the beginning, a memorial to the troops that were stationed here during the First World War. Their job was to guard the two railway bridges and, in an emergency, to blow them up if German troops tried to use them.

directly at the mouth a last bridge crosses the Aare

The Ermitage is a large and lovingly designed green area from 1785, with three idyllic ponds, several romantic grottos, historical buildings, pretty walking paths between the shore and the edge of the forest and, on top of it all, the castle ruins of Bierseck Castle, as the crowning glory of the whole. It is a wonderful place for physical and mental relaxation, but those seeking peace and quiet should visit outside of the holidays or weekends. It is a real visitor magnet. Warning! The grottos can only be reached on foot and via steep stairs. The rest of the garden is mostly wheelchair accessible and suitable for pushchairs. There are no parking spaces directly at the Ermitage! Free entry!
