Lake Gerzensee is privately owned. It's not possible to walk around it. From Kirchdorf, there's a dirt road that leads to a wonderful seating area.

The Aare is a dreamy river. Crystal blue water and pleasantly cool temperatures. It is hardly surprising that swimming in the Aare is a popular sport among the people of Bern.

An alternative to the marked cycle tour is the first path to the left on the ascent past the Cholhütte and Neumatt
