===============================

- Hike

On this route, you cross a wonderful moorland and hike over the Schlier ridge all the way to the world-famous Dragon Mountain – the Pilatus.

From the Berghotel Langis, you overcome a small rise eastwards to Schwendi Kaltbad, a popular excursion destination for families and hikers. In the former spa house, guests expected healing from the iron-rich mineral spring bubbling here. In the quaint chapel from 1865, services for alpine herders and guests or weddings take place in the summer months.

Heading west on the access road, you pass by the Andresen hut first over pasture and then ascending through the forest to the Schlier ridge up to the Bärnerstig, an old crossing to the Entlebuch. From there, the Schlier ridge leads northwards with slight ups and downs through blueberry bushes and past gnarly pines and spruces. It continues along the white-red-white mountain trail markings through forest and pasture areas with great views over the Schlieren valley and Lake Lucerne.
