Description

Discover the varied moorland scenery of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch. The long-distance footpath with its five legs comprises 80 kilometres of springy moorland terrain, stony mountain paths, ancient pass routes and unmade alp and forestry roads through barren high moors and flora-rich flat moors. All the legs are waymarked "Moorlandschaftspfad" (moorland path) to keep you on the right track! Moreover, all the start and end points can be reached by public transport, so the legs can be planned as individual single-day outings.

Equipment

Sturdy footwear and all-weather clothing are essential. We recommend bringing binoculars, flora and fauna identification books, and maybe a towel for drying feet after walking barefoot.

Safety instructions

Some areas have little or no mobile phone reception.

Tips

The moors are particularly striking in terms of colour between late September and late October.
