Who doesn't know "the Ligerz Church"? After a stroll through the vineyards, visitors arrive at the late Gothic building and realize it's a church the size of Biel's city church. How did a community like Ligerz come to have such a large church? In 1417, the inhabitants of Schafis, Ligerz, and Kleintwann were granted permission to build their own chapel. In 1482, the small church was replaced by a large pilgrimage church, which, endowed with relics from Rome and a special indulgence granted by 15 cardinals, became a major attraction for the faithful. Between 1961 and 1972, the entire church was restored in several phases. Even today, the Ligerz Church remains a popular wedding venue.

The title of "highlight" is completely inaccurate. Firstly, this is the small town of Erlach. And secondly, Erlach is 40km from Bern!

A visually appealing hydroelectric power plant. It's especially beautiful to admire the natural beauty along the river that flows into the lake. There's a nice little restaurant at the top.

The storm and hurricane-force winds last Sunday (June 15, 2025) left substantial damage on the trail. Trees were torn down and piled up. It will likely take several weeks until the trail is cleared again.
