Let's discover the magnificent city of Fribourg, with its rich heritage, and the surrounding countryside with its varied and beautiful landscapes. The hike is approximately 10 km long, with Protected content of ascent and descent.
Leaving the train station, we'll cross the old town and visit the Cathedral. We'll then head down to the lower part of town for a picnic. We'll visit the Berne wooden bridge and walk along the Sarine. We'll then climb up to the Lorette chapel, with its magnificent view over the region. We then head through fields and forest to follow the contours of the Sarine. Finally, we cross the Sarine again to head back towards town, where we pass through the Botanical Gardens and return to the station.
