Köniz is a large municipality southwest of the city of Bern. Since it also includes a lot of scattered settlements, it still has partly a village character. Worth seeing in Köniz is a so-called Ofenhaus, which was built in the mid-18th century and includes a wood stove, farmhouse and granary. The Gurten, the local mountain of the city of Bern, is also located in the municipality. The Gurten is a popular excursion mountain. You can reach it by the Gurtenbahn.
