This Napf mountains tour starts by climbing via Vordergraben to the Chrüzbode, where you encounter your first views of the Emmental hills. The turn-off to the Napf, the highest of the Emmental's hills, is between Ober Stutz and Fankhus: a detour to the Napf is worth it for the glorious views and the tasty rösti at the local restaurant. You then return to the Trub valley via Fankhus, past the Kambly biscuit factory and Trubschachen, then cross the Risisegg and return to Escholzmatt.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
- The short yet very steep ascent of the Napf is worth the effort owing to the all-round views.
- Magnificent panoramas on the Chrüzbode, Risisegg and Glichenberg encompassing the Emmental hills and Central Swiss Prealps.
- Drop in at the Kambly biscuit factory in Trubschachen.
- Detour from the Bödili to Schwendelberg chapel.
- Visit the Escholzmatt herb garden.
- Exceptional evening meal courtesy of the "culinary wizard" chef at the Gasthof Rössli in Escholzmatt.
