Emmental heights between Luterbach, Biembach and Biglebach

From Oberburg station, first head downhill into the valley, cross the main road and climb through a small forest valley past the farms of Blattenfeld to the hamlet of Ober Oschwand. On the ascent, a beautiful view of the town and Burgdorf Castle. Alternately at the forest edge and in the light forest, you slowly gain the height of Wasenegg, a magnificent viewpoint in the wooded hilly landscape between the Luterbach and Biembach valleys. Over field paths and grass-padded forest edge paths, continue with slight ups and downs to Witebirchen. The view of the mountains is magnificent. Numerous farms cling to the opposite slope, and in front of the Lüdere hill landscape, Trachselwald Castle is visible. Passing the beautiful Tröcheni farm, proceed now to the Tannenhüsli. From a sea of fir treetops, the Bantiger Tower rises. The gaze stretches far over the lower Emme area to the Jura heights from Grenchenberg to the Belchenflue. Observation points line up one after the other: Diepoldshusenegg (to Schafhausen 1h10), Pkt. 905 (to Utzigen–Boll 1h15), Ätzrüti (to Bigenthal 40 min), Mänziwilegg (to Walkringen 35 min) and Knörrihübeli always offer new fascinating views into the Napf region, the Central Swiss and Bernese Alps, the city of Bern and up to the Jura edge lakes. Now begins the fairly steep descent to Wattenwil, then along the forest edge of the Worbberg onto the wide hillside terrace above Worb. Here the proud castle also comes into view, from where in the second half of the 15th century not only Swiss but even European history was influenced (Burgundian Wars). The farming and commercial village of Worb transformed in the 20th century into a substantial suburb due to improved public transport (1898 Bern-Muri-Worb railway, 1913 Worbletal Railway). A down-to-earth, old part of Worb embodying the village character is passed on the way to the train station.
