Short spectacular hike over the Panoramabrücke Sigriswil.

Short spectacular hike close to the village of Sigriswil. New: Between the church and the rectory onto Räftlistrasse, over the footpath below the school building to the famous suspension bridge (180 m high and 340 m long), toll required. Enjoy the view from airy heights and comfortably reach the opposite side of the Guntenschlucht. On the way back, do not take the comfortable way over the bridge, but hike along the theme trail through the gorge and learn about nature, geology, and protected forest. Via the Gumisteg, you return to Sigriswil.
