On the GEOpfad, large panels provide clear information about geology, geotechnics, geography, natural events, and much more. The connection to the Lenk region makes the path unique. Interested visitors can deepen their knowledge about geological processes with more detailed explanations.

Why do trees grow crooked and bent? Why do cows trigger landslides? How to build drainage systems yourself? The GEOpfad answers questions and provides information on various topics. The trail was created by the Bern University of Applied Sciences. The start and end of the GEOpfad are located at the valley station of the Betelbergbahn.
