Circular bench trail Aeschi bei Spiez

They invite you to sit down and rest a while. Their guests often include walkers and hikers, who sometimes stop for no more than a few minutes and sometimes an hour. Their burden is great, yet they bear it gladly.  Welcome to the circular bench trail in the heart of the Bernese Oberland. From selected beauty spots, you can sit back and enjoy the panoramic view over Lake Thun, the Swiss Plateau, Interlaken and far into the Kandertal valley. Sit down and leave the daily grind behind.

 

The circular bench trail

 This 8-kilometre themed path currently features 14 benches, carved in a variety of different designs. The project was launched in 2011 by Aeschi Tourismus and features artworks sponsored by numerous sponsors and patrons. The circular trail is fully signposted/marked and runs along side roads, dirt trails through fields and hiking trails. Most of the route is also part of the winter trail network, meaning it can also be hiked at that time of year.
