Zell - Willisau

Those who like to hike on little-used paths over beautiful hills will get their money's worth on this hike. Beautiful views open up again and again in all directions.

This route leads gently up and down over the numerous foothills of the Napf past meadows, forests, and farms. We soon reach a first scenic highlight on the lovely Salberig hill, from where there is a magnificent view. The path continues to the legendary St. Jakob pilgrimage chapel where a stop is worthwhile, inside the chapel the legend is depicted on panels. The path then continues past grazing cows and through light forests to the scenic Honegg. There stands an impressive lime tree with a trunk diameter of about 2.5 meters and a small chapel. From there, it is only about an hour to Willisau.
