Energized through Entlebuch
UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - You will be thrilled with the e-bike! Because the ascent to Rengg is not a big effort. Thanks to the support, you have enough energy to enjoy the landscape on the varied route.
The route starts in the village of Entlebuch. Just outside the village, turn towards Rengg, from there it goes uphill until you reach Rengg. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a great panoramic view of the hilly landscape of Entlebuch and the Lucerne hinterland. The mighty wind turbines are also clearly visible from here. With a magnificent view, you can admire the height and rotational power of the installations.
The municipality of Entlebuch is generally dedicated to the topic of energy, so you will repeatedly encounter interesting energy platforms on your tour. For example, also the moorland Mettilimoos, also near Rengg: thousands of tons of peat were cut during the two World Wars in Mettilimoos and at Wissenegg and burned in company ovens instead of coal. The equipment used is exhibited in the peat hut. Take off your shoes and socks – in our moor footbath you can convince yourself of the beneficial effects of the moor. Today the moors are protected by the way.
From Rengg, the route leads back down towards Schachen – Werthenstein and Wolhusen. In Wolhusen, there is another ascent towards Doppleschwand. From here, the tour takes you via Habschwanden and Hasle back to Entlebuch. Here you will find, for example, the two gastronomy partners of the Biosphere Entlebuch, the Bahnhöfli or the Hotel Drei Könige, where you can refuel with a delicious meal.
