“Beautiful castle complex, nicely restored. Good information available both via audio guides and information panels.”
Broc
Broc is best known for the Maison Cailler chocolate factory, which was established here at the end of the 19th century. The village is situated on a high terrace at the foot of the Dent de Broc. To the north are Lake Gruyère and Lac de Montsalvens. The Jaunbach Gorge can be visited by families from Broc to the imposing dam of Montsalvens in an easy hike. It is the first dam in Europe to be built with a double arch dam (vertical and horizontal). The structure is 52 m high and 110 m long.

“Really good and interesting course. The parking is free, but add an extra 5 minutes for walking...”
“We know Fribourg a bit, but between the Sarine river, the old town, and the mountains, it was great weather-wise.”
“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”
“A morning tour would have been even better. But our guide did an excellent job despite the sun and heat.”
“Jonathan was great! He made this experience wonderful for me and my kids!”
