Today was the day.
Sunshine and also enough cold, so the pond was finally accessible, an eerie feeling, especially when you suddenly heard a cracking sound 😳

August 10, 2022,Quartalstour „Sommer“ - Etang de la Gruére (Moorgebiet)

The Jura is a quick-change artist and offers plenty of nature and relaxation in every season. So a hike is part of the tradition at any time of the year. Now in summer the temperature on the Jura heights and in the forests is a little more bearable than on the central plateau. The moor area around the Etang de …

The Etang de la Gruére near Saignelégier is "a quick-change artist". Depending on the season, it appears black (moorland), blue or white when it is frozen over. The circular route through the landscape protection area offers something impressive at all times! Simple path that can also be expanded. The Jura offers something for many sports interests!

February 10, 2022,Frühlings-Symptome am Hochmoor!

Once again inhaled the humid, "oxygen-rich" air; at the Etang de la Gruére in the Bernese Jura, not far from Tramelan. The hair dryer has left its mark and the first spring fever 🤪 is coming up. Then have fun!

It was built in the 17th century to operate a mill. The peat or raised moor extends over 56 hectares and is 9 meters thick, and has accumulated over the last 12,000 years. …

August 19, 2025,Schweiz🇨🇭Rund um den Etang de la Gruère im ältesten Hochmoor der Schweiz

The area is one of the largest and best-preserved raised bogs in Switzerland. It is of exceptional scenic and biological value and is now under cantonal, national, and European protection. We walk the almost 3 km around the moor lake on soft paths and wooden boardwalks. It is wonderfully quiet here, and one becomes quite humble.

March 22, 2023,Etang de la Gruère, La Theurre (Saignelégier)

The black-looking moor lake in the middle of a nature reserve invites you to hike and enjoy at any time of the year. The tour is partly on a wooden plank path. Worthwhile for young and old, incl. picnic or in the nearby "Auberge de la Couronne" (closed Mon/Tuesday).
