It then continues briefly along the Kander River, which was diverted into the lake here over 300 years ago via the Kander Canal. You’ll cross the Strättligsteg footbridge, and the trail leads up a flight of steps and then over Strättli Hill, offering a magnificent view of Lake Thun. At Gwattegg, the trail branches off to the left, passes under the highway, and turns into the Glütschbach Valley at Alti Schlyfi. Through shady woods, the trail follows the idyllic Glütschbach stream to the cool stalactite caves with their bizarre rock formations. The picnic area is the perfect spot for a break.
