Experience the biosphere reserve in a whole new way and admire the nearby mountains at high altitudes.  

This stage deals with the south side of the Napf and its wonderful sun-tanned hillside slopes. From Langnau, we leisurely follow the Ilfis and soon reach Trubschachen, the sturdy Emmental village with the seductive scent of baked goods in the air. Escaping the local biscuit paradise, we climb a secluded valley landscape that takes us increasingly higher into the hills up to the border mountain "Turner" marking the transition to the Lucerne Entlebuch. Here, at 1200 meters, the panorama of the valley opens up along with the rocky arena of the mountains grouped behind it. There are felt to be 99 curves down to Escholzmatt, which carry us briskly downhill. From now on, we enjoy the most beautiful heights through the UNESCO biosphere reserve and its scenic gems. Deep ravines open up below us, and the mighty shoulders of the Napf carry us safely to the village of Entlebuch, where a well-deserved snack awaits us.
