By bicycle from Worb to Walkringen

Cycle Route: Worb to Walkringen

This lovely ride starts in the charming Swiss village of Worb, known for its picturesque castle and historic old town. The route takes you about 7.6 km northeast, winding through peaceful countryside and gentle hills—a perfect escape from city buzz.

Expect a mostly quiet journey, with about 63% of your ride on tranquil roads. You’ll roll over a mix of surfaces: a good portion is gravel and unpaved, so a hybrid or gravel bike is a solid choice. There’s a gradual climb (about 162 meters ascent), but it's rewarded with great views of the Emmental region’s green meadows and forest patches.

You’ll end in Walkringen, a small village that inspired the famous Swiss novel “Die Schwarze Spinne.” It’s a great spot for a breather before heading back or exploring more rural roads.

Overall, it’s an ideal ride if you’re after scenic vibes, light traffic, and some mild adventure off the beaten path!
