Circular route Entlebuch – Rengg – Ebnet

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - Varied circular hiking route through the municipality of Entlebuch.

After starting through the village of Entlebuch and the first altitude meters covered, the path leads through a deep hollow way (historical cart track) with the Chessiloch sunk up to four meters deep. Also on this section, you come across the large landslide area of 2005/2006, where forest is growing again in the upper part. Upon reaching the Rengg, the most strenuous part of the route is already done and you can enjoy the beautiful panorama. 

Later, there is a resting bench with a table in the middle of the forest for taking a break. At Underwald, the path skirts the moorland «Zittermoos», where a cart with horses is said to have disappeared. Shortly after, you follow a deep hollow way for about 400 meters, which was part of the old mule track between Entlebuch and Lucerne.

Through forest and meadow, the hike now leads downhill past the Lindenhof Ebnet to the Kleine Emme. Stop at Lindenhof, where in addition to an innovative restaurant you will find the production site of Entlebucher beer and Edelwhite gin. A tasting is highly recommended. Please check the opening hours in advance.

Along the Emme riverside path to Entlebuch, the immense shaping power of water in the nationally important floodplain landscape becomes apparent. On this section, you will find two generous rest areas inviting you to linger.
