340 metres long and 180 metres above ground, those are the measurements for the imposing Panorama bridge in Sigriswil.  It connects the two villages, Aeschlen to Sigriswil and spans across the “Gummi Gorge”.  The filigree architectural masterpiece is one of the attractions of the Lake of Thun panoramic tour. This bridge is one of the longest and highest pedestrian suspension bridges in Europe.  It is a jewel under suspension bridges and represents a gentle, sustainable art of tourism for our region.

A few steps off the planet trail SIRUS you will find the lookout tower „Blueme“.  In the past in the old Bernese national territory, lookout towers were placed strategically on hills.  These lookout towers were called “Chutzen”.  It was an important form of communication.  Fire or smoke signals were used to transport information.  The Blueme lookout tower is situated on such a hill..  The panoramic view stretches from Jura to the Bernese Alps.  Two barbecues with grills are ready to be used for a break in the open countryside. There are seats for about 30 persons available.
