Using the train or PostBuses to travel through Family Heritage areas in Emmental region

Posted by Laura (California) on 06/12/19 11:35 PM

HI,

My family came from the Emmental region a LONG time ago. Towns like Sumiswald, Ruderswil, Lauperswil, Langnau, Steffinsburg, Oberhofen, Belp..... I don't necessarily need to stop, but I thought it would be great to go on a bus or train (or mix) in the areas of my ancestors on my way from Geneva (through Bern) to Thun (where a relative also lived....1600's).

Is there an easy way or site (Postal Bus/train) to map out a course that goes through these areas so I can pick a few that might be on the way to Thun?

Thanks!

The Emmental Tourism organization is at https://emmental.ch/en. The Region Bern map on https://www.postauto.ch/en/timetable-and-offers/network-routes covers that area. They run historic buses in that area too - https://emmental.ch/en/eventmanager/page/historische-postautolinie-emmental/action/offerShow/Offer/.
