01/ Overview
The route
A gentle ascent into the idyllic, hilly countryside of the Bucheggberg to the historic Buchegg Castle. This stage leads through forests, over gentle hills and clearings and promises plenty of variety, with views over the Aare plain and the Mittelland.
From the Büren an der Aare stop, the hiking trail leaves the small town and soon climbs to the Bellevue viewpoint. Stretches of forest alternate with open meadows and fields, while clearings offer views across the rolling Swiss Plateau. Beyond Oberwil bei Büren, the surroundings become quieter. The route continues through the rural landscape with gentle ascents and descents.
Around halfway, the trail reaches its highest point near Horad at approximately 650 metres. It then descends to Mühledorf before once again crossing open terrain and forest. The many short uphill sections add up to around 340 metres of ascent, but remain moderate on the broad hiking trails.
In Kyburg-Buchegg, the route passes Buchegg Castle. The final section descends from the heights to Bätterkinden. After 16 kilometres and just over four hours, the hike ends at the railway station.
