This day hike leads along the eastern flank of the Längenberg on natural paths with gentle ups and downs to the Gürbebadi in Mühlethurnen. Picnic areas, barbecue sites and benches as well as several farm shops are recommended for a break.
The starting point of this hike is Kehrsatz. After a short climb up the flank of the Längenberg, the Gürbetaler Höhenweg leads gently up and down on natural paths through fertile land and sparse forests. A dreamlike, intact landscape lies before the hiker and the snowy mountains rise into the sky in the background. Old, flower-adorned farmhouses line the path.
One attraction along the way is the hamlet of Fallenbach, probably the best-preserved hamlet on the Längenberg. Picnic areas, benches and several inns are recommended for a break.
The village of Riggisberg is already close to the end of the hike. Lake Thun can already be seen. Here the Gürbetaler Höhenweg passes the internationally outstanding textile museum of the Abegg Foundation.
