Circular route around Schwändi near Entlebuch
This easy circular hike takes you over roots and stones, mostly on forest paths. The path leads around the Schwändi neighborhood and is marked with charming wooden plaques. After a short time, a beautiful pond is located a few meters off the path (southwestern edge of the settlement). Above the pond there is a public picnic area.
Especially beautiful is the view from Bitzisegg over the entire valley. In the vegetation-free period (autumn to spring), the variant via Brachweid–Obwidehof can be hiked, which offers a wonderful panoramic view up to Säntis.
