If you are in the mood for hiking upstream, this is the perfect walk for you. This route follows the river Broye upstream, but with almost no changes in elevation whatsoever. Henniez is known for its mineral water, while the huge fortress complex in Lucens is an impressive sight. In the middle ages, its purpose was to maintain strategic control of the valley jointly with Moudon.
