Around the Nüneneflue

The Gantrisch area is a popular and frequently visited hiking region in the Bern – Thun – Freiburg triangle of cities. In addition to classics such as the panoramic hike Wasserscheidi – Stockhorn or the Gantrisch circuit, there are here less known and less traveled routes. One of these is described by this suggestion. At the starting point of the hike at the Gurnigel, Wasserscheide bus stop, follow the signposts for Leiterepass. After the parking lot on the so-called Panzerplatte, it is worth looking westwards towards the Schwyberg. To the east, Lake Thun with the adjacent peaks and the moraine landscape with Lake Dittlig appear. An alpine road leads uphill to the Gantrischbeizli Obernünenen and the alp of the same name. Here the Gürbe river originates. Shortly after, turn left towards Schwalmere. Through pastures and forest you reach a path to the Alp Gustiberg. A trail leads at times steeply through pastureland up to the Schwalmere mountain pass. This is the highest point of the hike. On the south side of the Nüneneflue, past some short exposed sections, you reach the Leiterepass. From here the view extends north over the Central Plateau up to the Jura. To the south, the Simmental and Diemtigtal can be spotted. To the east, the Stockhorn is visible. The descent follows to the Alp Obernünenen. On a familiar path, you reach the end of the hike at the Wasserscheide bus stop.
