Little Susten Route
The route starts in Romoos in the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch and follows the well-signposted bike route 812. First, it leads along a quiet side road towards Grämse, then continues on a gravel road up to the highest point of the route: Holzwäge at 1,081 m above sea level. The cozy inn invites you to take a break with a view from Rigi to Pilatus.
From Farner, the descent becomes even more varied. You leave the paved road and follow a meadow path that soon turns into a shaded forest path with dense woodland. This section is steeper and strewn with larger stones. A technical challenge worth the effort. Here, a true natural spectacle unfolds. The path winds through impressive gorges shaped by the Nagelfluh and a small waterfall.
Shortly after, you reach the lowest point of the route, where two streams have deeply carved into the Nagelfluh. This is an ideal moment for a short break and exploration of the riverbed, as Romoos is famous for gold panning.
After one last ascent, the path leads back to Romoos. If you like, you can stop at Restaurant Kreuz and even recharge your e-bike battery.
