Diemtigtal House Trail «Middle of the valley»

Follow the Diemtigtal House Trail from the post bus stop «Chirel» in Horboden and cross the road. The trail leads you to the high plateau of Entschwil, where magnificent architecture and a surprising view await you. From here you continue via Riedern, Rothbad to two more impressive buildings in Simmental style at Walkenmatte. Soon you will be descending via Houeten. At Wattfluh you will find the last house of the round tour before returning to the valley road in Horboden. The trail is marked with brown direction signs.

If you prefer, you can walk along the valley hiking trail from Horboden to Wampflen in about 45 minutes. Here you will find an old mill, formerly with a bakery. An old millstone in the paving between the residential house and the barn indicates the original function of the house.
