Walking Tour Gurten Observation Tower Bern Switzerland

Walking Tour Gurten Observation Tower Bern Switzerland . The Gurtenturm is located on the mountain of the same name in the municipality of Köniz in the canton of Bern . Today's viewing tower is a reminder of the time when the city of Bern had to defend itself against invaders. In the 15th century there was a high watch here with a "chutz" - a huge fire stick that was lit as soon as one could see the approaching danger. The bonfire warned the residents of the city and the church bells sounded the alarm at Bern Minster. The Gurten hut burned for the last time in 1847. The Gurtenturm, built in 2000, offers a panoramic view from the Bernese Alps in the south to the Jura in the north. In 2016 a summer toboggan run was opened on the Gurten. #gurtenturm #gurten #bern #switzerland #walkingtour
