Fürstei - Hike between Waldemme and Sarnersee

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - The mountain hike to Fürstei leads through the fantastic landscapes of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch and Obwalden.

Every step is worth it when climbing the 2040 m high Fürstei. From Alpwirtschaft Stäldeli in Flühli, the route starts immediately uphill towards Seewenseeli. The path is easy to walk and mostly leads through the unique moorland of the Glaubenberg. You can rest assuredly take breaks here and there during a short pause to enjoy the mystical natural landscape. The first stop awaits at Seewenseeli. The small chapel with its beautiful benches invites you to take a short break. Enjoy the view of the small Seeli and the fantastic panorama of the surrounding mountains.

Then the ascent to Fürstei begins. Always uphill, the path demands some sweat drops. But once at the top, the breathtaking panoramic view rewards you – the view ranges from Pilatus in the northeast to the Bernese Alps in the southwest. From Fürstei, the path leads steeply downhill through sheep meadows and initially quite rough terrain to Wasserfallenegg. Here you leave the ridge and walk towards Änggenlauenen through forest and meadows on gently descending terrain back to the starting point Stäldeli.

In the Glaubenberg/Wasserfallen area there are various Swiss Army firing ranges. Detailed information and information on shooting dates can be found under "Safety information".
