--- title: "Hirsegg - Schrattenfluh - Rossweid - Sörenberg" url: "https://www.biosphaere.ch/en/tour/hirsegg-schrattenfluh-rossweid-soerenberg" description: "The Schrattenfluh, the most obvious karst mountain range in the biosphere, is part of the strictly protected core zone and one of the most pristine karst landscapes in Switzerland. From a distance, it appears practically vegetation-free and is actually only sparsely vegetated. The Schrattenfluh impresses not only above ground with bizarre patterns in the karst rock but also underground with its extensive cave system. Yet, some pretty cushion plants and alpine roses, which the people of Entlebuch also call «Steirösli», grow on the Schrattenfluh. On the northern side, there are steep, rugged rock walls with large scree fields that then transition into alpine meadows and moor areas. Thanks to this variety of different habitats, it features a great diversity of animal and plant species. The day hike leads from Hirsegg to Alp Schlund and from there over the fascinating karst fields of the Schrattenfluh to the ridge and towards \"Türstehäuptli\" and \"Schibengütsch\", where you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the Brienzer Rothorn chain, the Bernese Alps, the Hilfern valley, the Hohgant, and many other mountains and landscapes. On the descent, you walk past Böli on the right; at the foot lies the SAC hut Chlus. Overnight stays are possible here, but the hut is not staffed. Shortly before Alp Schneeberg, you will find a nice barbecue area directly on the Bärselbach if you want to take a break. And be sure to stop at the farm shop of Alp Schneeberg. The fine homemade jams, syrups, and pear bread invite you to snack. The path then leads you towards the mountain inn Salwideli through the beautiful moorland towards Rossweid. The hiking trail then leads uphill through the forest into the village of Sörenberg. From Rossweid, you also have the option to return to the village of Sörenberg by gondola lift." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2750341/edf0b2e50877e5a85d1b69d2617f1ce6ad1ed0372c021f48f800e7ff76b813e1/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Hirsegg - Schrattenfluh - Rossweid - Sörenberg ============================================== - 17.96 km long - Difficulty: difficult - Condition: difficult - Great panorama - Hike - 6:37 h - 17.96 km - 1,195 m - 1,112 m - 1,070 m - 2,058 m - 988 m - - Start: Bus stop Sörenberg, Hirsegg - Destination: Village center Sörenberg Hiking across moor and karst landscapes - a unique experience in the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch.
