The hike starts at the parking lot on the Glaubenbielenplatz. Need provisions for the hiking route? At the entry to the hiking trail, there is a small alpine kiosk with fine cheese. After a short time, you also pass the Glaubenbielen alpine farm, in case you need a coffee or a small refreshment for the first ascent; after that, there are no more restaurants on this route.
Soon the tougher part of the route begins, and the ascent towards Rotspitz starts. The fantastic view of the Brienzer Rothorn and the Schrattenfluh on one side and the Pilatus, Stanserhorn, and Rigi on the other side accompany you for a long time on this route. You then climb Nünalpstock and finally Haglere at 1948 m above sea level. At the summit cross, a break is well deserved. Watch out for dead trunk and root remains of mountain pines along the way. Perhaps a lizard is sunbathing there? Moor lizards are typical inhabitants of moor areas - Haglere is a nature reserve of Pro Natura. Did you know that well over a quarter of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch area is covered with moorlands of national importance? Nowhere in Switzerland are there as many nationally protected moors in such a small area as in Entlebuch: 44 raised bogs, 61 low bogs, and 4 large moor landscapes shape our landscape.
For the descent towards Alpweid and Sörenberg, some leg strength is still required. The path first goes through the extensive terrain with a great view before you branch left onto the hiking trail towards Alpweid. After a short forest section, the hiking trail runs at times over open pastures. Take your time to admire the biodiversity along the path. At Alpweid, you switch from the hiking trail to the paved road and walk down into the village of Sörenberg.
