Röstigraben route
Based on the book by Philipp Bachmann, published by Rotpunktverlag. Hiking along the language border from the Jura to the Matterhorn. The Röstigraben between Murten and Fribourg meanders through the landscape like a great river in sweeping curves. The proposed route shortens the wide meanders and at the same time takes account of the quality of the hiking trail. It is therefore a compromise between proximity to the Röstigraben and hiking comfort. P.139 to 141.
Way of St. James

The connecting route from Basel through the Jura to the Dreiseenland region is an alternative way of closing the gap between the south-west German sections of the Way of St. James and the ViaJacobi, which crosses Switzerland through the Mittelland. The new route invites pilgrims to walk from Basel - in the southernmost part of the Upper Rhine Plain - through the scenic Jura Mountains to the western Mittelland, and from there to France and on to Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrims' hostel is located in the modern extension of the castle, which was built after the Reformation on the site of the former Cluniac priory of the 12th century as a manor house.
