Entlebuch Emmental High Route Stage 1: Doppleschwand - Obstaldenegg

The first stage of the Entlebuch-Emmental high route starts in the middle of the village Doppleschwand and leads directly out into the beautiful natural landscape. Once you’ve managed the first few altitude meters, a fantastic view of the hilly landscape immediately opens up. The path repeatedly leads through cosy forests and then suddenly the terrain opens up again and the impressive mountain panorama unfolds.

After the first forest section, you are above the village of Entlebuch and catch a great view of the village with the imposing shipping center, the even more imposing wind turbines on the opposite valley side, as well as the charming peaks of Risete, Schafmat and others. With this view, you continue towards Habschwanden / Hasle and soon dive back into a longer forest section. The smell of moss and earth, as well as the calming rustle of the leaves, accompany you every step of the way. At Schüpfergg, you emerge again into the open terrain and are rewarded with an incredible view. On the right the extensive Napf area, and on the left the village of Schüpfheim with Farnere, Beichle, and in between a distant view to the Brienzergrat and the Bernese Alps. For the 100th anniversary year of Schüpfheim Tourism, a huge Swing the World swing was erected here, with a direct view of the village and the surrounding mountains. This must, of course, be tried out immediately!

Now it is not far. Two short forest sections lead you to Obstaldenegg. Here, a nice barbecue area also awaits for a longer rest.

The second stage leads you from Obstaldenegg in Schüpfheim to Turner in Escholzmatt.
