Tips from the Community
A wonderful gem in the immediate vicinity of Herzogenbuchsee. Water frogs croak around the weather. The divers proudly show off their four young, which, intriguingly, have red heads, while their parents, typical of divers, have white "mirrors" vertically across their foreheads and noses. Highly recommended if, like me, you're out on your new eBike for the first time, to experience all the features an eBike offers, such as: Rohloff gears, automatic seat post, ABS brakes, Komoot, no wait: Simply everything you've known from your "biobike" for 60 years, and now feels wonderful with electric assistance. And: If you wanted, you could also go 45 km/h. But 36 km/h in Bosch Limit mode, i.e. 11 km/h entirely under your own muscle power, is all the more fun, and in weather made for the gods.

This boulder is called Grossi Flue. It weighs a whopping 3,500 tons and has a volume of 1,200 cubic meters. The boulder was brought here by the Rhone Glacier – this is evident from the hornblende gneiss. The enormous boulder was purchased by the Swiss Society of Natural Sciences in 1869 and placed under protection. Otherwise, it would likely have fallen victim to railway construction.

The Aeschi church is one of the so-called "Twelve Thunerseekirchen" which, according to a legend recorded in the 15th century, were built on behalf of King Rudolf II. Hochburgund, 922-926 King of Lombardy. More or less serious architectural interventions took place at the turn of the 13th and 14th and especially in the 16th century. Today's interior is characterized by two major renovations from 1935/36 and 1966. Source and more: https://kirchenvisite.ch/kirche/007-aeschi-bei-spiez-kirche-aeschi
