Moorland Landscape Trail UNESCO Entlebuch Biosphere
UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - The five-day adventure journey "Moorland Landscape Trail" in Entlebuch takes you over springy moor paths, rocky mountain trails, and historic pass routes through the wild, almost untouched natural beauties.
Hardly any other region of Switzerland possesses as many natural treasures as the "Wild West" of Lucerne. Here you find the largest and most numerous moor landscapes of Switzerland and a fauna and flora of (inter)national importance. No wonder Entlebuch was designated by UNESCO as the first biosphere reserve in Switzerland. Over 400 square kilometers stretches a mystical world promising peace, inspiration, and relaxation. The over 80 km long Moorland Landscape Trail leads in five stages to the mystical moors and offers extraordinary experiences: rugged Schrattenfels and gentle moor landscapes, deep trenches and gorges from the Ice Age, steep limestone cliffs of the Schwändelifluh, or primeval mountain pine moors and romantic mountain lakes.
