Valley hiking trail

Hiking trail
Time required: 4 hoursLength: 15.02 km

Naturpark Diemtigtal - "There are many valley hiking trails; the Diemtigtal valley hiking trail from Schwenden to Oey is unique and deserves the highest award." Quote: Hiking guide of the Bernese Hiking Trails

The path follows the valley waters Fildrich and Chirel and leads through forests and meadows. Alternately, the path passes flower-rich meadows and through the pleasantly cool forest in midsummer. Enjoy the rushing wild streams as you cross the mountain rivers on eleven bridges. Along the way, numerous resting benches and barbecue spots invite you to stop and relax.

During your hike you stay away from the road, but on the approx. 15 km long hiking route you are guided at intervals of 20 to 40 minutes to eleven postal bus stops (shortcuts possible, please observe the postal bus timetable).

Signalization

Shortly after the starting point "Senggiweid" you will find the idyllic Blauseeli, which fascinates with its deep blue color. Many benches and even a "reading box" invite you to linger there. The path leads along the Senggibach to the Schwenden schoolhouse. Across the wide expanse of the lakeshore you reach the "Gwunderwasser" water playground below Tiermatti. Two stream crossings later you are at the Anger cattle show area. The roundwood hut with barbecue area offers shelter and seating options. If you are traveling with a group: You can reserve the barbecue area in advance at the Naturpark Diemtigtal office.

The further route runs mostly along the cool forest edge directly on the Fildrich. If the Wiriehornbahn is running and you have enough time, a detour to Nüegg from Riedli with a rapid scooter descent is worth it. The valley hiking trail leads you over roots and stones to Wampflensagi with another barbecue area. The descent before Horboden requires a bit of surefootedness. The last section before Oey impressively shows the power of the water: The Chirel is given ample room here, also due to lessons learned from the last big flood. Shortly before the endpoint the path leads past Katzenloch. Here you will also find a covered barbecue area, which can be reserved at the Naturpark Diemtigtal office.
