    The Berke-Chehr usually starts at the bridge in Berken or at the power plant in Bannwil. Which direction you take on this circular route does not matter. Either way, the start is the destination. You walk along both sides of the Aare landscape, partly with a view of the Vogelraupfi (nature reserve). During the week, you are likely to encounter more swans than people on this path. The bridge at Berken is crossed and leads you back to your starting point on the other bank. But beware; don't forget a small detour to the Löwen restaurant in Berken. 

    Author’s recommendation

    If this route is too short for you, it can be easily extended - to Bannwil/Aarwangen or in the other direction - Wangen a. A..

    Tips and suggestions

    Vogelraupfi (Unterberken, Graben) 

    The Vogelraupfi or Vogelroupfi is an island in the Aare near Bannwil, respectively Unterberken/Graben. It is under nature protection and is used by various birds such as the lapwing, the common ringed plover or the kingfisher as a breeding and nesting site.

    The island is 30 meters from the left (northern) river bank, and 115 meters from the right. It is about 292 meters long and maximum 78 meters wide. The area is 1.2 hectares.

    Roadbook

    The path always leads along the Aare. Except on the left Aare side - at the height of Vogelraupfi - the path leads a few meters away from the riverbank.
