Hiking in Lyss

The life of storks is varied. Returning from their wintering grounds, they build their nests, form pairs, and raise their young together. The black-and-white gliders can be seen every day until the first ones head south again from mid-July. However, some hardy individuals also remain here during winter.

The Alte Aare between Studen and Aarberg is a beautiful floodplain protection area of national importance – and thus also a cozy local recreation area, where hiking is a pleasure.

Mysterious witnesses from long past times can be discovered on this hike just as much as untouched river landscapes. At the destination, the charming town of Aarberg awaits.

Relaxed hiking by the water and through floodplain landscapes: this is offered by the varied and family-friendly hike from the town of Aarberg through the wild nature along the Old Aare.

Where once the Aare flowed as a mighty and unpredictable river, there is now a quiet watercourse surrounded by idyllic floodplain forests. A varied hiking trail leads through this unique nature reserve. A special jewel right at the beginning of the route is the small town of Aarberg with its historical buildings. At the beginning and end of the hike, there is some hard surface, otherwise mainly natural paths.

Attractive hike on the edge of the Dreihubel over the wide heights between Hasenacher and Hardern, then through the extensive plain between Bannholz and Städtiberg and finally along it into the charming little town of Büren a.A. Along the way, stately farms, villages with well-preserved buildings, and a magnificent view of the Jura chain. Hard surface only in the settlement area.

From Aarberg, you walk along the old Aare to Lyss through the beautiful floodplain landscape, forests, and small lakes.

The Seeland region offers many enchanting corners. On the route from Meikirch to Lyss, hikers discover stately farms, charming landscapes, and magnificent views of the Jura chain. Some sections are on hard surfaces even outside the settlement areas.

Between the nature-connected Wengi in the Limpach valley and Lyss, the regional centre in Seeland, you can enjoy a leisurely walk and, in good visibility, the views towards the Jura and the Bernese Alps. Some sections are on hard surfaces.
