Three municipalities in one go.

The district of Habschwanden lies above the villages of Hasle and Entlebuch and offers a fantastic view into the Napf region. The hike leads to Schüpferegg in the municipality of Schüpfheim.

This moderately difficult circular hike follows a traffic-free, paved road in the first part and is stroller-friendly on this section. In the second part, you walk on a beautiful natural path in the forest and on a ridge, which repeatedly offers stunning panoramic views. On this section, you encounter two boundary stones of the municipalities Entlebuch, Hasle, and Schüpfheim, an impressive transmission tower in the Voglisbergegg area, as well as the Lothringer Cross – easily recognizable by the two crossbars.
