Hike
This section of the Jakobsweg is ideal for getting a little taste of "pilgrim air." This route leads through the varied hilly landscape and offers beautiful views and vistas.

A beautiful country path takes us from the village of Zell up to the scenic hill Stocki. From there, we follow the varied hiking trail in the footsteps of the Jakob pilgrims. The path passes beautiful farms and gentle hills. Soon we cross the Luther, which gave its name to the valley. Here we have the opportunity for a detour to Hüswil to stop at the Rest. Engel/Sindang Reret. Passing an impressive gravel plant, we hike to Ufhusen, the village with the beautiful view and a village shop. Soon we cross the well-known “Grenzpfad” which leads from Langenthal to the Brünig. The path gently continues through forest and meadow areas, until we see the first houses of Huttwil.
