--- title: "Emmenuferweg" url: "https://www.biosphaere.ch/en/tour/emmenuferweg" description: "On the Emmenuferweg between Brienzer Rothorn and Emmenbrücke, you immerse yourself in the unique natural and cultural landscape of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch. Along the river course of the Waldemme and the Kleine Emme, spectacular natural sights line up. From the bubbling Emmensprung, you encounter floodplain landscapes, bays with sunny gravel banks, protected moor biotopes, and wild gorges. The biodiversity of the biosphere area is unique. In the wet meadows and moors, you can observe dragonflies and discover rare plants like orchids. From the source of the Waldemme at the Brienzer Rothorn, you follow the path of the water, which flows slowly or rushing through the river landscape shaped over centuries. With every new meter, the sound of the branched streams and the river sounds a little different than before. Crossing covered wooden bridges, you walk through the open river valley between scattered settlements, past historic buildings to the industrial facilities at the gates of the city of Lucerne. The four daily stages of the Emmenuferweg can also be hiked individually and shortened as desired thanks to the good connection to public transport. While the first two stages along the Waldemme offer slightly more elevation, stages two and three run mostly on flat terrain. With cozy bathing bays, playgrounds, and barbecue areas, these are a wonderful destination for families.
