- Start: Neuhaus on Lake Thun
- Destination: Interlaken East
From Neuhaus, the path leads to the Lombach bridge, where the Lombach flows into Lake Thun further downstream. You walk along the rushing Lombach upstream surrounded by forest. You turn right towards St. Niklausen where you cross the main road. The path leads through the Brandwald at the foot of the Harder Kulm to Obere Goldey in Unterseen. From there, it goes slightly downhill to the Aare River, which flows through the "Bödeli". The pleasant walk continues either on the left or right bank of the Aare to Interlaken East, where the route ends.
Note Autumn 2025 - Lombach construction site
The Schwellenkorporation Unterseen informs: The existing thresholds of the Lombach are over 100 years old and in some places in need of extensive repair. To improve fish passability, eight thresholds will be demolished and replaced by block ramps. Furthermore, a barrier will be structurally adapted. The works will be carried out by Gerber + Troxler Bau AG on behalf of the Schwellenkorporation Unterseen. Depending on weather conditions, about three months of construction time is expected from mid-October.
The route will therefore be adjusted until the end of January.
