This circular route through and around Willisau is ideal for getting an impression of the sights outside the old town.

The path mostly follows marked hiking trails and starts at Willisau station. At Migros, you cross Ettiswilerstrasse and turn onto the footpath towards Hirschpark. At Hirschpark, there is a good opportunity to take a break; there is also a playground for children. Higher up at the “Gütsch-Kreuz” there is a beautiful panorama.

The path continues through the forest and then down to the Änziwigger stream and afterwards to the canalised Mühlibächli before going back up to the Schlossfeld sports facilities. It goes downhill again, this time crossing the “Buechwigger” stream. The path leads upward one last time to the Chapel St. Nikolaus on the hill. There you will find a beautiful view and an inviting rest area. From there it is 10 minutes back to the starting point of the hike.
