The Kander Cut-through

The hike leads along the lakeshore of Lake Thun through Bonstetten Park. Through the village of Gwatt, you hike steeply uphill until you reach the Burgunderweg. Here, there is a wonderful view of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, over Lake Thun and as far as Thun. The narrow path is adorned on both sides by willows and mighty, old chestnut trees. On the ridge, the impressive powder tower, the "Strättligburg," soon appears. A little downhill, you soon reach the road and cross it. Then it goes steeply downhill for a short distance on steps. The Kander carves its way deep below through the gorge. From the Strättlig footbridge, you look deep down.
