Marked house route with 19 historically valuable buildings around Blumenstein. The route is continuously marked from Blumenstein with brown signposts.

The Stockental, as a largely intact, agriculturally shaped area, has a considerable number of old, partly well-preserved and extensively renovated houses. The Bern heritage protection and the Bern hiking trails have created a Stockental house route. The brochure with the route instructions can be obtained free of charge from the municipal office in Blumenstein. The Stockental house route is marked with brown signposts. Small yellow signs are attached to the individual houses. They bear the same number as their description in the route instructions.
