Heart Route | 99 Willisau - Burgdorf

Already in 2003, the Heart Route ventured this traverse between Willisau in Lucerne and the Emmental. The stage has since gained cult status and is considered worryingly addictive. It transports travelers on winding paths through a landscape hardly known. From Willisau, you enter the Oberaargau through Zell in Lucerne, a atmospheric part of the canton of Bern that increasingly transforms into the Emmental. The hills become higher, the ridge formations more impressive, the farmhouses more lush. By the latest in Affoltern, the route runs to a scenic crescendo that can hardly be surpassed. Wide views of the Alps and the Jura frame the cascade of hills spreading out before us. Via the Gotthelf village of Lützelflüh, you reach Burgdorf along the Emme riverbank path, whose proud castle towers over the valley and welcomes you.
