Murtensee

After passing through the village of Muntelier, you cycle along the northeast shore through a sparse forest.

In Sugiez, it is worth cycling up Mont Vully. The little road climbs about 200 meters in altitude, but in return there is a viewpoint with panoramic views over the vineyards, the lake, the town of Murten, and on clear days into the Bernese Oberland. From the road, you can also see Lake Neuchatel and the southern Jura foothills. The continuation through the vineyards is varied and leads through the villages of Lugnore and Mur back down to the lake. From there, continue to Salavaux. At the farm Le Bey, it is recommended to leave the cycle path and take a detour through the fields to Avenches. The town is situated on a hill and is notable mainly for a Roman amphitheater and other Roman relics.

For the onward journey, it is best to follow the main road towards Murten in Avenches. At the edge of the village, turn left and pass the Nespresso factory. There is a strong aroma of coffee roasting here. In the village of Faoug, also known as Pfauen in German, you can leave the road after the train station and cycle back to Murten on small paths. Along the way, you pass small bathing areas and elegant accommodations/villas.
