Theme trail
Time required: 45 minutesLength: 2.06 km

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch -

Open
Equipped with the orienteering map, the whole family explores Marbachegg on the Bretzeli Photo Orienteering.

Who doesn't know the round Bretzeli from Kambly in Trubschachen! The fine cookies are also part of the Bretzeli Photo Orienteering on Marbachegg. Equipped with the orienteering map, which is available at the mountain station, you set out to find the photo posts on sunny Marbachegg. Along the way, you learn exciting facts about recreational offers on Marbachegg as well as about the Kambly Bretzeli.

The photo orienteering first leads down to the little lake, where there is surely a post to photograph. If you like, you can take a break here, because at Speichersee there is also a great fire and picnic spot. Then it goes on towards Gassenegg. Keep your eyes open here, because in summer funny marmots frolic around here. With some luck and patience, you can hear and see them. From here, you follow the path through cozy forests back to Marbachegg. Those who have found all 10 posts and stamped the orienteering map correctly will receive a small surprise at the mountain or valley station at the end.

The time required for the photo orienteering is about 60–90 minutes. The Bretzeli Photo Orienteering is not stroller-friendly.

Opening hours
The Bretzeli Photo Orienteering on Marbachegg is accessible during the summer season operation of the Marbachegg sports lifts.

Prices
The circuit is free of charge. For the gondola lift a ticket must be purchased.

Equipment
The orienteering maps are available free of charge at the valley or mountain station.
