Bicycle museum in Reidenbach, 1.6.2019

The bicycle museum HEKU is located in the air-raid shelter of the Boltigen community hall in Reidenbach. Mrs. Kunz leads the visitors through the huge collection of different bicycles, from old to new – Mrs. Kunz guides the visitors through the huge collection – all of them are ready to drive and used to be ridden by the Kunz family.

Take a sweater with you, it is rather cold in the shelter!

A saddle pump. Its inventor might be our great-uncle Arthur Schmid (he was married to Anna Dütschler-Imhof’s sister). However, at least two versions of the saddle pump existed and it is unknown whether his was the first or whether one copied the other.

Fromatt Alp, 1. August 2018

From Blankenburg near Zweisimmen the road winds up to the parking “Tschachtlere”, 1540 m above sea level. If you follow the street you will reach Fromattläger Alp (1860 m) after ca. 45 min, and its Alp Restaurant Q-hof after another 5 min. Wonderful view to the west and to the north.

If you take the mountain path through the wood you will reach the Fromatt SAC cabin (1800 m, open on summer weekends) after 30 min. Impressively situated below the Spillgerten mountain it features a lovely terrace with a nice view towards Saanenmöser.

Lenk, Sieben Brünnen

Next to the Simmen Falls up to the Sieben Brünnen (Seven Wells). Starting at the inn at the foot of the Simmen Falls, the route climbs steeply along the thunderous ravine. After 300 meters of altitude difference it becomes flat, after the mountain inn Sieben Brünnen you stand at the foot of a rock face over which and from which the water of the Plaine Morte glacier rushes.
