According to legend, if its 74 m tower is unfinished it is because there was no money left. A jewel of Gothic architecture, the cathedral was built between 1283 and 1490. It is possible to climb the 365 steps to the top of the 74 m high tower and discover the entire town.

The 76 metres high tower was the hightest building in Switzerland until 19th century. The main doorway is adorned with bas-relief , done in the 14th century , rapresenting the Last Judgement. Wonderful inside with stained-glass windows that create a very special atmosphere.

My wife and I were debating whether we were going to visit Murten since I was a little out of the way from our route to Munich. However, we were very thrilled to make this side visit to Murten. The entrance to this town is very charming and left us very impressed with the overall feel of this town. It was absolutely beautiful and such an easy place to get around. It was a very nice place to visit and we would highly recommend a visit even if you have to take a side excursion to reach it...

The Lake Gruyere has some nice spots. And one of the nicest and most famous is the area around the Ile (Island) d'Ogoz. It really gets interesting when you catch this place when the waters are low. Then you got the chance to walk to the island, with its ruins and chapel. But also the nearby beach and the walks around the lake are interesting. It's a nice area to explore by foot, taking a break, having a picknic etc. There is (limited) free parking just after you pass under the highway, close to the farm. There is also a boat service to the island. We - and our dog - enjoyed the walks and the beach here. Sadly the island was closed due to Covid-19 at that time, but it's been a nice afternoon anyways, with nice walks and views.

When in Murten, be sure not to miss a walk on the city walls. Access is free and even your four-legged best friend is allowed to go with (well, I had to carry her up - English Bulldogs have short legs). The walls, dating from even before the 12th Century (but finished much later), are well preserved and offer fantastic views over the town and the countryside. But be careful, some sections start to crumble a bit on the edge, so check your steps. It's open from dawn to dusk (not the other way around...that would be a bar in Mexico). It's suprising and refreshing that this is a free sight. But I wish people would be more respectful and not leave their marks here (names carved in the wood and walls, garbage on the floor). A must-do in Murten.
9. Bern Bridge

The first bridge of the city Originally, the pont de Berne would have been supported by timber trestles. The bridge as it stands today dates from 1653. The central stone pillar and deck were replaced in 1853-54,and its roof in 1885. The three bridges in Fribourg Old Town (Bern, Milieu and St-Jean) all date from the mid-13th century, almost 100 years after the city was founded by Berthold IV of Zähringen (1157). Before the pont de Berne was built, travellers had to cross the Sarine by boat. In those days, the water lapped against the cliffs on which the former Augustine monastery overlooking the car park stands. In 1340, the bridge was sawn down to ward off an attack by encroaching Bernese invaders. The pont de Berne is the last remaining covered bridge in Fribourg.
