Wissenegg trail

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch   -

Tired of fog and hustle? Visit sunny Finsterwald, nestled in a beautiful mountain setting by the Risette and Schimbrig. The trails amid beautiful nature lead you through forest areas and moorlands in the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch. Connoisseurs and athletes alike come fully satisfied here.

The Wissenegg trail starts in the village of Finsterwald on Glaubenbergstrasse heading towards Wissenegg. It is also accessible from the Bohrplatte parking lot via the Nesslebrunnebode trail. The route partly leads over the raised moor as well as meadows, past the adjacent Fuchsernwald and the Wissenegg pond to Homberg and back. With sufficient snow the trail also runs through Geugelhusen and the Fuchsernwald (max. 2.8km). The route, with gentle inclines and descents, is perfect for beginners and connoisseurs who appreciate the great atmosphere of sun, forest, and mountains, but also for advanced skiers wanting to improve their technique and endurance. The Wissenegg trail offers several alternative loops to shorten, extend, or add an extra loop to the cross-country skiing pleasure.

The Finsterwald trail consists of three sections: Nesslebrunnebode trail, Wissenegg, and Mettilimoos.
