Tip
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 uncomplicated biking experience on well-signposted routes.

A "flowy" trail takes you down to Kemmeriboden-Bad and from there on a "blue" or "red" difficulty level via Salwideli through the colorful moorland landscape to Rossweid in Sörenberg. After a relaxing descent, you reach the village of Flühli, optionally via a rewarding "red" additional ascent with a fantastic view and a corresponding additional shot. In Flühli, the trail climbs again and leads via Salzbühl - Baumgarten - Finishütten up to the magnificent viewpoint on the "Farnere", followed shortly afterwards by the mountain restaurant on the First, where you can already spy out the stage finish at the Kurhaus Heiligkreuz a few meters below. If you still have some energy left, it's worth taking a short walk through the Seelensteg and taking a look inside the pilgrimage church.
