Hike Details
We leave from Münsingen and pass through a beautiful, scenic landscape created by the Innere Giesse creek.
We then ascent to Hindere Chlapf over stairs and paths (steep at times) but the views across the Aare Valley all the way to the Emmental Valley are worth the effort, until we reach the top of Belpberg.

We continue downhill to Toffen and after about three hours of hiking, we can break for lunch.
We then go up again to Leueberg where the Alpine panorama reaches its climax: Finsteraarhorn, Eiger, Jungfrau, Breithorn or Blüemlisalp. Then we hike an another hour through the Taanwald forest and reach Rüeggisberg.
