Wohlen bei Bern is a little village about eight kilometres north west from Bern main train station. I’ve been here since December 2011 and love it.
We live between the villages of Wohlen and Möriswil, and it takes 20 minutes to walk from our house, called a Stoeckli, down to the main street, where the buses go every 30 minutes into the city.
Today’s exercise involved dropping a letter off to the council offices, so instead of doing it tomorrow, when I will be catching the bus into town to meet a friend, Sandra, I thought it would be a good opportunity to take some photos and show you the area where we live.
With my walking boots on, I followed the Wanderweg (walking) path through some farming fields and down to the council office, and then back a different way via our favourite local restaurant.
I hope you enjoy this gallery of photos from our little village.
Wishing you a wonderful day.

Thank you Craig, I’m really glad you’re enjoying it. I’m going to try to keep it a mix of fitness, personal, photos, Switzerland, travels etc. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to know what you’d like to see or read about, or what could be improved!
