Planet Path

From Ringgenberg an excursion (12km/7.5mi) to the "Planet Path" is recommended. The walk, of about five hours, takes the visitor through the whole of the solar system at a scale of one to one billion. Walking at a normal pace corresponds to the five-fold speed of light. Then on, through a short rocky defile, to Niederried (580 m/1,903ft), situated amid orchards at the foot of the Augstmatthorn (2,140 m/7,012ft) and Oberried (592 m/1,942ft), before passing through the little village of Eblingen to Brienz.
