description: "Starting from the tranquil village of Entlebuch, the route shortly winds into the wild labyrinth of crests and ditches. In Romoos, you still enjoy pre-Alpine hospitality, then follow endless sections where you travel alone with the landscape, a few farms, and lots of views. The route abruptly descends to find itself in the little Fontanne, a ditch with a Wild West flair. In this gorge you meet gold prospectors, mushroom pickers, and intrepid Herzschlaufe guests who grill a sausage in the creek bed. The ascent to Menzberg requires some strength but rewards with a new altitude experience, this time close enough to touch the Napf main ridge, although you never actually reach it. This hill animal with its hundred ditches is too tangled. One of these also swallows us again after a rushing descent and leads us uphill once more, this time to the heights of the Luther Valley, gently guiding us towards Willisau."

Ride the Napf on wild paths, crossing its ditches and enjoying its ridge areas. 

Starting from the tranquil village of Entlebuch, the route shortly winds into the wild labyrinth of crests and ditches. In Romoos, you still enjoy pre-Alpine hospitality, then follow endless sections where you travel alone with the landscape, a few farms, and lots of views. The route abruptly descends to find itself in the little Fontanne, a ditch with a Wild West flair. In this gorge you meet gold prospectors, mushroom pickers, and intrepid Herzschlaufe guests who grill a sausage in the creek bed. The ascent to Menzberg requires some strength but rewards with a new altitude experience, this time close enough to touch the Napf main ridge, although you never actually reach it. This hill animal with its hundred ditches is too tangled. One of these also swallows us again after a rushing descent and leads us uphill once more, this time to the heights of the Luther Valley, gently guiding us towards Willisau.
