From Willisau station, we head west to the Hotel Mohren and follow the signposts for Menzberg. The road first gently climbs along the Buchwigger, then follows a steep ascent via the hamlet of Schülen towards Menzberg. Along the way, we repeatedly enjoy the beautiful view over the typical Napfbergland. Once at Menzberg, we can treat ourselves to a well-deserved break at the Landgasthof Menzberg.
Afterwards, it’s a fast ride all along the main road down to Menznau. Here we cross the cantonal road and after the railway crossing turn left towards Geiss until the Rötelberg junction. We then follow the road until, after a short descent, we see the wetland landscape of Ostergau on the right side, which invites a photo stop. From there, it’s only about ten minutes back to Willisau
