Hike
On this hike along the flow trail, hikers can look forward to spectacular bike jumps and beautiful rest areas.

The hike begins at the valley station of the gondola lift in Marbach, LU, and follows varied trails uphill toward Marbachegg. The route frequently runs alongside the Clientis Flow Trail, offering exciting glimpses into the world of mountain biking. With a little luck, you can watch the bikers on their high-speed rides and spectacular jumps.

Along the way, the “Sidenmoos” and “Wald” fire pits invite you to take a leisurely break—ideal spots to enjoy nature and recharge your energy. The steady climb is repeatedly accompanied by beautiful views of the surrounding mountain landscape.

Once you arrive at Marbachegg, the Marbachegg mountain inn awaits hikers with its sunny terrace and magnificent panorama. From here, there are numerous options: a leisurely return trip by gondola, the descent back to Marbach, or a scenic hike along the Schrattenfluh toward Flühli, Bumbach, or Kemmerboden. The possibilities are almost endless.
