Marbachegg - Kemmeriboden

Hiking trail

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch -

The scenic panoramic hike with a sweet reward!

The first altitude meters you cover from Marbach with the Bretzeli-Bahn up to Marbachegg. Here you best enjoy first the incredible view of the legendary Schrattenfluh, the Hohgant, and the white-dusted Bernese Alps in between. After a short refreshment at the mountain guesthouse Marbachegg, you can start.


Past Spichersee, the hike leads to Ober Lochsitli, towards Wittenfären and Kadhus. At the fork left to Alp Imbrig, you can make a short detour to the alpine cheese dairy and the alpine tavern or continue on the hiking trail towards Oberhabchegg. From there, it goes towards Lauizug and then to Schibenhüttli. A steep, rocky path guides you further over Ober and Unter Chemmeri to the valley floor of the Great Emme. At the country inn Kemmeriboden-Bad, you should not miss the famous "Merängge" from the charcoal oven. With the post bus, you return to the starting point again.
