This route offers both cycling and scenic pleasure. On the Herzroute, you glide over the cretaceous layers of the Emmental to finally reach Huttwil and Hüswil in Lucerne. From there, the «Herzschlaufe Napf» leads back to Sumiswald, including some of the most beautiful sections to be found in Veloland Schweiz. A mighty tour with great potential for enjoyment.
