Musse:um

Theme trail
Time required: 2 hoursLength: 5.16 km

Naturpark Gantrisch - The 5.3 km long circular route leads through the wonderful landscapes between the Tavel Monument (Bütschel-Gschneit above Riggisberg) and the excursion destination Bütschelegg.

The landscape experience is at the center of the "Bench for the Moment." From the seat, you look through a small window with colored glass. A yellow and a blue window can be slid in front, illuminating the landscape alternately in yellow sunshine, blue idyll, or green splendor. Not to be forgotten is also the "Bench for Doing Nothing." It invites the visitor exactly to that – to do nothing. Completely without instruction, but very much in the spirit of the "Musse:um" circular route.

At the Bluetrail benches, active relaxation complements the nature experience. Visitors are offered exercises to release tension, promote calmer breathing, and improve perception.

Those who want to experience the circular route can take the PostBus or car to Gschneit or the Tavel Monument. The circular route is 5.4 kilometers long and leads through the landscape without major inclines, passing two restaurants as well.
