Gettnau - Willisau

Tip
7.79 km long
Difficulty: easy
Hike

The varied hike is also ideal for families. Points of interest along the way include the Kastelen castle ruins and the Agrovision Burgrain organic farm.

The well-signposted route passes horse farms and leads through a forest to the Kastelen castle ruins, where there are also barbecue areas and restroom facilities. The path continues to the Agrovision organic farm with a restaurant, farm shop, and a large playground. (Closed on Monday and Tuesday).

The remainder of the hike follows the Planet Trail to Willisau. As a crowning conclusion, the Hasenburg outdoor pool invites hikers to cool off in summer.

The path is only partly suitable for strollers as the forest section to the castle ruins is a narrow trail.
