--- title: "Relaxing hiking on the Lütschine" url: "https://www.thunersee.ch/en/experiences/tour/relaxing-hiking-on-the-luetschine" description: "The route is signposted from the starting point at Lauterbrunnen station to the destination Wilderswil, so it is easy to find. You walk through the underpass past the parking lot and reach a footpath along the access road before the railway underpass. This leads steeply down to the white Lütschine. The route initially runs on the left, later on the right bank to the Lochbrücke. The hike along the Lütschine can be enjoyed alternately through forest or close to the river on a footpath and a driveable road. Later, you reach a former blast furnace. Iron ore mined in the rear Lauterbrunnen valley was smelted here from 1682 to 1831. A panel provides explanations, a rest area invites you to take a break. Shortly after, Zweilütschinen is reached. At the station, the tracks of the BOB / Bernese Oberland Railway and the Schwarze Lütschine must be crossed. Now a field path first descends, then ascends to the village of Gsteigwiler. On a field path, later a driveable road, it goes to the church of Gsteigwiler, which can definitely be perceived as the church of Wilderswil, so close is it to this village. The reason? As the mother church of one of the largest reformed parishes in the canton of Bern, it includes the three parishes Interlaken-Matten, Bönigen-Iseltwald and Gsteig. These include the municipalities of Gsteigwiler, Wilderswil, Gündlischwand, Lütschental and Saxteten.
