The four-star TCS Camping Bern Eymatt is located in an urban area, about six kilometers outside the federal capital Bern, close to the city and yet in the middle of idyllic nature. It is a perfect place for everyone who likes to immerse themselves in the vibrant city life, but also wants to enjoy the benefits of relaxing in nature. The city bus, which stops directly in front of the campsite, takes guests to the city center in six minutes. All around, you will find tranquility in the green and beautiful walking paths directly along the Aare. Sports enthusiasts can rent a SUP at the campsite and paddle down the Aare.

This truly lovely picnic area, located right by the Gäbelbach stream, offers seating, a barbecue area, and trash cans. If you're out for a run, you can dispose of any used, sticky gel packets here.
