Schwarzenburg offers with the nature park Gantrisch an ideal hiking area for the whole family. Several bike trails have also been created here and in winter there are cross-country ski runs. The Gantrisch via ferrata, which is only open in summer, leads in the south over 300 meters of altitude to the top of the mountain (2176 m above sea level). Schwarzenburg Castle and the nearby Grasburg are also well worth a visit. The "Chäppeli" in Schwarzenburg is a very striking village chapel unusually clad with shingles. Schwarzenburg can be reached from Bern with the S6. (Photo Nature Park Gantrisch: Switzerland Tourism, Marcus Gyger)
