Hiking holidays Via Jacobi Interlaken - Romont
Hiking: Via Jacobi
The Jacobs trail in Switzerland
Arrival to Interlaken
Interlaken – Spiez
The section leads alongside the River Aare to the Weissenau nature reserve on the Thunersee lake. From Neuhaus it continues through woodland, often with clear views of the lake and the Bernese Alps. The Beatushöhlen (caves), former place of pilgrimage of St. Beatus are particularly impressive.
Spiez – Wattenwil
In peaceful countryside, with the Stockhorn mountain chain in the background, past several lakes and 2 of the «1'000-year-old churches on Lake Thun»: The oldest, built by King Rudolf II of Burgundy, is in Einigen. Romanesque church in Amsoldingen with an impressive crypt by the same builder.
The Rüeggisberg Monastery ruins and Wahlern Church, seen from afar enthroned on a sandstone ridge, are cultural highlights on the route to Schwarzenburg. The hike is also enhanced by the unspoiled pre-Alpine landscape.
Schwarzenburg – Freiburg
The trail leads along the Sensegraben, popular recreational area and nature reserve. After the Sodbachbrücke bridge, numerous religious symbols along the wayside are a clear indication that you’ve crossed the border into the Catholic canton of Fribourg.
Freiburg – Romont
The city of Fribourg with its numerous historic references to St. James and the St. James pilgrims would be worth the journey on its own. The pilgrims’ path leads over the St. Apolline bridge and through the varied landscape of the Glâne to Romont.
