Ride the Napf on wild paths, cross its ditches and enjoy its ridge areas.

Starting from the tranquil village of Entlebuch, the route soon winds into the wild labyrinth of ridges and ditches. In Romoos you still enjoy pre-alpine hospitality, then follow endless sections where you travel alone with the landscape, a few farms, and plenty of views. Suddenly the route drops steeply to find itself in the small Fontanne, a ditch with a Wild West flair. In this gorge, you meet gold prospectors, mushroom collectors, and fearless Herzschlaufe guests who grill a sausage in the stream bed. The ascent to Menzberg requires quite a bit of strength but is rewarded with a new altitude experience, this time close enough to touch the main Napf ridge, which you never actually reach. This hilly terrain with its hundred ditches is too tangled. One such ditch swallows us up again after a roaring descent and leads us uphill once more, this time to the heights of the Luthertal, which gently guides us towards Willisau.
