At the Zulgspitz, the Zulg, which rises high up at the Grüenebergpass, flows into the Aare. It flows down over two sills, which creates an interesting picture.

Climb up to the heights of Gunten to enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Thun. The climb is well worth it as you’ll have stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains, making it a great place to take a scenic break from your bike touring adventure.
