This bike route is ideal for getting a feel for slightly more difficult single trails.  You ride on many easy paths, only the section from Sternenegg to Ibergeregg is a challenge for less experienced bikers.

From Oberiberg, you ride entirely on the main road to Chaltenbrunnen, where you turn off onto the side road to Sternenegg.  From there, it goes steadily uphill through light forest to Sternenegg.
The view from Sternenegg of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains is breathtaking  and rewards you for the effort of the ascent.

At Sternenegg, continue straight ahead (following the hiking trail signs towards «Ober Altberg» and «Ibergeregg» 967») until you reach a fork about 650m later. There turn left, following the «Hoch-Ybrig Bike 967» signs. Another 450m later after a descent, you arrive at the Alp «Ober Altberg».
Now, following the signs towards «Ibergeregg» or «Hoch-Ybrig Bike 967», turn right onto a technical single trail that leads you to the Ibergeregg pass road.
At the pass height, after the Hotel Passhöhe, turn left off the road over the parking lot to the hiking signs north of Ibergeregg towards Hobacher.
On the well-developed so-called "old Schwyzerweg" you ride back via Hobacher, Aenglisfang, Laucheren valley station and back to the starting point Neuseewen Oberiberg.
