The Wynigen Bridge over the Kleine Emme river is a work of Baroque carpentry dating from 1776. It is the oldest wooden bridge still in use in the Emmental region.

Sleeping in Burgdorf Castle? Yes, it's possible, and you can do so in the youth hostel. It's actually located in the castle itself! The rooms within the old walls have been skillfully designed in a modern style, creating a cozy atmosphere. There are various room sizes (double, family, four-, and six-bed rooms), a restaurant, and as a guest, you can even visit the castle museum for free. There's a bike room or bicycle shelter for your bike. More information about the youth hostel: https://bern.com/de/informieren/unterkuenfte/hostels/jugendherberge-schloss-burgdorf
