The Chutze marks the highest point on the eleven-kilometer-long Belpberg ridge between the Aare and Gürbe valleys. Despite its modest altitude (892 meters), it offers a phenomenal 360° panoramic view – of the Bernese Alps, Emmental, Jura, and often as far as the Aare valley. ✳️ Sights & Refreshments - Remains of the 12th-century Hohburg castle ruins, accessible above the path to the Chutzen. - Restaurant Chutzen (at 887 meters) directly at the viewpoint – regional cuisine, terrace with an Alpine view, usually open Wednesday to Sunday until 10:00 PM. - Memorial stone for John F. Kennedy in remembrance of Hungarian freedom aspirations, discreetly placed at the highest point.
