2-day route, Stage 1: Marbachegg - Heiligkreuz 46km

46.02 km long
Difficulty: difficult
Condition: very difficult
Tour
Discover the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch by mountain bike,

e-bike or gravel bike. Including accommodation, breakfast, and luggage transport –

for an effortless bike experience on well-marked routes.

On a "flowy" path, descend into Kemmeriboden-Bad and from there via "blue"

or "red" difficulty level via Salwideli through the colorful moor landscape

to Rossweid in Sörenberg. After a relaxing downhill ride you reach the town of Flühli,

optionally via a rewarding "red" additional climb with fantastic views and

corresponding extra descent. In Flühli, the path climbs again and leads

via Salzbühl – Baumgarten – Finishütten up to the magnificent viewpoint on the

"Farnere" with a mountain restaurant shortly thereafter on the First, where a few

meters lower you can already spot the stage destination at the Kurhaus Heiligkreuz. If you still

have energy, a short walk through the Seelensteg and a look into the pilgrimage church is worthwhile.
