"It is well worth the effort to discover this hidden gem just north of Bern. Take the ferry across to get there from Bremgarten bei Bern, or enjoy a lovely walk there from Tiefenau. The food is simple but the real draw is the gorgeous surroundings. I could spend all day there with a good book, but it 's also a perfect place for families with young children. Plus guests are welcome to bring a picnic and sit at their picnic tables or in the field by their play area. Don 't forget to bring a towel, because you 'll probably want to dip your feet in the Aare at one of the sandy beaches nearby."
