High-altitude hiking route from the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch to the Emmental.

Starting from Turner, you hike on this stage always downhill with views of the typical Emmental "hills". After a short stretch through open terrain, you walk an engaging stage along forest edges with their shading trees. At Vorder Risisegg, the route leads you down into the charming village of Trubschachen. Here you can stop for a while at the Kambly Experience and also at the Aebi Pottery, where you will find not only unique items but also a small but fine café.

The fourth stage leads you from Trubschachen via Escholzmatt to Grosshorben.
