The ViaJacobi forms part of the Camino de Santiago which crosses Europe and leads from Lake Constance to Geneva, passing right through Switzerland in 33 stages.

The twenty-ninth stage of the ViaJacobi, from Burgdorf to Bern, includes many forested sections. From its starting point of Burgdorf, the route firstly leads to Krauchtal. On the following section to Utzingen, walkers pass along the old monastery path. Boll forest contains an entire network of trails with clear traces of sunken paths. Via Dentenburg and Amsleberg, the route finally leads to the Bern Animal Park, BearPark, an iconic landmark of the Swiss capital.
