The penultimate stage of the Route 1291 leads from the pre-alpine landscape of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch out into the hilly Napf mountain region, via Willisau to Sursee.

Today's stage is characterized by contrasts: The start is in the village of Entlebuch, from where the route leads via Doppleschwand and Romoos towards the Napf area. You follow the Napf heart loop and reach Menzberg, Luthern, and finally Hergiswil near Willisau. The landscape now becomes not only flatter but also more urban. A small detour through the historic town of Willisau is another highlight of Route 1291. Soon another follows, as just a few kilometers further is the town of Sursee, which also impresses with historic buildings and city walls.

Route length: approx. 70 km | ascent 1354 m | descent 1570 m
