To ancient churches on Lake Thun

From the Strandbad bus stop in Dürrenast, pass under the main road to the nearby lake shore. The beautifully constructed lakeside path follows the reed belt, sometimes also on wooden walkways over quiet bays. From Bonstettenpark (benches, playground) with its gnarled old trees, enjoy the magnificent view over the lake to Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. In Gwatt, cross the main road and then turn steeply away from the lake up to Gwattegg. The view from the large lime tree on the nearby Strättli hill is magnificent across the lower Thunersee basin, the city of Thun, the Glütschbach valley (the original course of the Kander), and the rocky peak of the Stockhorn.
Descend gently past the somewhat hidden Strättligturm, where the nobles of Strättligen once lived. Beyond the Simmental road, you suddenly stand before the dark chasm of the Kander breakthrough. In 1713, the Kander was to be forced into the Thunersee for debris deposition. Already a year later, the wild river tore open the blasted tunnel. On the sturdy Strättlig bridge to the opposite riverbank and up to Einigen. A small road now leads over a scenic ridge to Riederen. Afterwards, the Rustwald is crossed on forest roads and narrow paths. In Spiezmoos, pass under the railway line and the main road and climb up to the wooded Spiezberg. At the forest edge, enjoy another magnificent view over the vineyards to the castle and castle church of Spiez. Through the castle grounds, the route goes down a flight of stairs to the Ländte in Spiez Bay.
