Tips from the Community
A good opportunity for a little refreshment on the way to Mont Sujet. It's also worth it just for a drink; the view of the three lakes (Lake Murten, Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Biel) and the chain of Alps is almost unique.

As the name suggests, Place Central is the starting point for several routes. Eastward over the Kretentrail via the Jura house (Bergerie du Jura) to Frinvillier or westward over the Kretentrail to Chasseral. South towards the Métairie de Prêles, later to Les Prés d’Orvin. And finally northwest to Rägiswald (Métairie du Bois-Raiguel), Petit Chasseral, Chasseral. The trail southwest leads directly to Les Prés d’Orvin.

This path connects the Métairie de L'Isle and the Métairie de Frienisberg. Technically not too difficult but physically demanding but doable with the bio bike!
