The fourth stage of the Entlebuch-Emmental high trail takes you from Trubschachen through the typical hilly Emmental landscape to Grosshorben. The start is in the cozy village of Trubschachen, which is also the home of the world-famous Kambly biscuits. Uphill, you walk along the Napfbergland border trail towards Rämmisgummenhoger, which marks the highest point of the hike. The Rämmisgumme became nationally famous for its beautiful crocus blooms in spring. Thousands of white and purple crocuses stretch towards the sun. Just before Rämmisgummen, you have the opportunity to turn off to the mountain inn Erika to enjoy a refreshment with a great view. From Rämmisgummenhoger, you now follow the ridge, crossing the border between Emmental and Entlebuch from time to time. Here you will find benches to rest and enjoy the fantastic views and panoramas. With a pleasant ascent and descent, you reach the stage destination Grosshorben.
The fifth and final stage takes you from Grosshorben to Schangnau.
