Lakeside path

Lakeside path – hiking on the idyllic lakeside path

The lovely lakeside path goes from Spiez to Faulensee.

The flat lakeside path goes from Spiez to Faulensee, or the other way around. In the impressive tree tunnel this spiritual trail goes past artistic sculptures and natural beauties. On the way secluded bathing areas, a modern firepit and long-distance views await. On this mystical lakeside path the «Spirit of Spiez» came to life, which led the German national football team in 1954 to the sensational victory. The «Miracle of Bern» went down in football history. Until now the popular lakeside path attracts many locals and foreign visitors.
