Leisurely hike through the lovely hilly landscape of the Buchsi and Wynigen hills. Is it the gentle heights, the open forests, the fertile fields, and the vastness of the landscape that inspired painters like Cuno Amiet and poets like Walter Flückiger and Maria Waser in their work? The writer from Herzogenbuchsee lovingly called her homeland "Land under the stars." Anyone who wanders through this area will succumb to the charm of this region. Little hard surface outside the settlements.

The short loop hike around Lake Burgäschi not only offers a chance to cool off, but also provides plenty of interesting information about the archaeological sites around the lake, which are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This varied hike for the whole family can be extended as desired.

Beautiful, varied hike, e.g. for families, which can be shortened or extended as desired. Short round walk around the beautiful Burgäschisee, which is a World Heritage site! Extension to the enclave of Solothurn: Steinhof with beautiful forest hiking trails. Special feature: The highest point in the Steinhof forest is a nice barbecue spot. Or just before Steinhof, at the largest erratic boulder in the Central Plateau, the Erratic Block, there is also a barbecue spot.

Long but rewarding hike through the magnificent Oberaargau and Emmental hilly landscape. Grossi Flue (boulder), Mutzbachfall and the view from Oberbüelchnubel make up for the sweat-inducing ups and downs.

    Herrliche Wanderung. Sobald Sie den Rundweg um den Burgäschisee hinter sich haben, wird es ruhiger. Immer wieder eröffnet sich ein toller Blick Richtung Jurasüdfuss.

    In Bollodingen unbedingt einen Halt bei Provenance an der Dorfstrasse machen. Toller Laden mit vielen aussergewöhnlichen Einrichtungsgegenstände und einer charmanten Bedienung. Bei Kaffee und Schwatz kann da sehr schnell die Zeit verfliegen.
