Ins - Estavayer-le-Lac
From Ins, this itinerary crosses the region known as "des marais" (Grosses Moos) and invites cyclists to pass behind Mont-Vully, near the Broye, and then to continue along Lake Neuchâtel via the welcome stops at the beaches of Cudrefin, Portalban or Chevroux nestling in the Grande Cariçaie nature reserve.

The Vully tart
Recipe for 4 tarts:
Dough:
1 kg flour
1 large pinch of salt
15 g fresh yeast, mixed in a little warm water.
70 g unsalted butter
0,8 l milk
15 g bacon
1 egg, lightly beaten.
Filling:
400 g sugar (cubes), coarsely ground
1,5 dl single cream
1 egg yolk
150 g unsalted butter
Add the flour, yeast, melted butter and 1/3 of the milk to a bowl. Knead together, gradually incorporating the lard and egg, until the dough is light and airy (approx. 20 min.). Roll out the dough and place into greased baking tins. Leave the dough to proof (approx. 1 hour) in a warm place. Prick the sides with a fork. Make shallow holes using your fingers (use a rolling pin to stretch the holes into lozenge shapes). Place pieces of butter into the holes/lozenges. Pour the cream and egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle evenly with the coarsely ground sugar. Bake in a hot oven (300°) for 8 -10 minutes.
Enjoy it without moderation with a glass of Traminer from the Vully.

Nature center BirdLife of La Sauge
Many rare and endangered species of birds reproduce themselves there or stop by on migrating periods or during the winter. The centre makes a large public aware of the natural resources of the area.
Its main objectives are to convince the people of the importance of the natural environments, to create new habitats favourable to the wildlife, and specially to the green tree frog and the kingfisher.

Papiliorama
Over 60 butterfly species from all over the world flutter around in this colourful tropical environment. As you walk through the Nocturama you may catch sight of nocturnal animals such as night monkeys, ocelots or anacondas. And to enable children (and adults) to have physical contact with the animals and not leave frustrated after simply observing tropical nature, the Papiliorama also provides a mini-zoo area where it is possible to stroke farm animals.
The Papiliorama is a state-approved Foundation whose vocation is to raise public awareness of the fate of tropical forests and biodiversity in general, by immersing the visitor into the very heart of its living exhibitions. A sister foundation of the Papiliorama (the ITCF) actually protects over 11'000 hectares (110 km2) of tropical nature in Belize in Central America.
Nocturama opens at 10am all year around. Last admission one hour before closing time.
Open 363 days a year - only closed the 25th of December and the 1st of January.

Gletteren's pile dwelling village
The pile dwelling village in Gletterens organizes numerous events and workshops around the early history and the way of life of the first farmers who settled on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel (4500-800 BC).
You will discover artisanal techniques from the early days: you can forge a Stone Age knife, a pendant or a lamp from the Paleolithic Age, experience the magic of making fire, demonstrate your hunting talent by throwing a spear or enjoy a Stone Age meal.
Just stroll through the village and enjoy the magic that emanates from its thatched houses. If you want to deepen the experience, you can also spend a night in the tipi.
