Moorland Trail Stage 4: Moorland Glaubenberg

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - Day hike in a wild landscape with gorges and landslide areas over the Wasserfallenegg.

The largest moorland in Switzerland extends partially into the adjacent Obwalden area. It covers 130 km2 and also includes the second largest total area of raised and lowland moors. Outstanding is the importance of the raised bogs, which are the best developed in the whole of Switzerland. Water biotopes such as ponds, small lakes, tussock grass, springs, streams and waterfalls are preserved in great variety along this stage.

In the moorland especially notable is the extensive lowland moor Gürmschmoos with the large building for storing litter. The legendary Wasserfallenegg with the Drack. The Dragon is buried in the pine forest north of the signpost (P.1729) within the stone wall. The Änggelauenenseeli – the only natural lake in Entlebuch – lies in the landslide area at the foot of the Fürstein.

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