The lovely 800 year old small town of Murten/Morat is the main city of the Fribourg lake district and is situated directly on the language border. Most Murten residents speak two languages. Thanks to its wonderful setting on the shore of Lake Murten, it is a perfect vacation spot, too. The great historical significance of the town comes alive when viewing its town wall, extraordinary towers, and wonderful castle; a true treasure. The intimacy of Murten's picturesque city center, arcades and romantic views will take you to a time long gone-by. The old town is directly adjacent to the train station. Be sure to walk down to the harbour and not to miss neither the walls, nor the central square. |
