Burgdorf Castle

Highlight • Castle

Burgdorf Castle sits enthroned on a mighty rock. Around 1200, Duke Berchtold V of Zähringen had the older castle replaced by today's mighty palace. At that time, Burgdorf was one of the central bases and preferred residences of this noble family from the Black Forest.

Today the castle is the largest, most complete and best-preserved castle complex in Zähring.

This excellent road with a cycleway on the smoothly asphalted surface between Burgdorf and Niederösch allows for on to be able to reach top speeds with little traffic.

Lake Burgäschi

Highlight • Lake

Small lake with lido and other swimming opportunities. You can walk or ride around on foot or by mountain bike. A well-known restaurant, the "Gasthaus Seeblick am Burgäschisee" is highly recommended!

From this point until the village of Bollodingen, the road turns into a gravel road. I would advise road cyclists to avoid this stretch of gravel and take the detour to the village of Hermiswil and ride on the busy road between Hermiswil and Bollodingen. The road on itself is of a smooth asphalted surface with no holes but during the morning and evening rush hour, this road has a lot of heavy traffic.

This cycleway provides a great alternative to avoid to the heavy rush hour traffic between Burgdorf and Langenthal on the main road, however for road bikes there is a small section where road cyclists have to take the main road to avoid a stretch of gravel road.

Ey Bridge over the Emme River

Highlight • Bridge

There are various ways to cross the Emme in Burgdorf. Watch out for the small, narrow bridges when the weather is nice, with lots of pedestrians. If you want to cool your feet down for a moment, you can take a short break there. It is definitely beautiful and idyllic.
