Entlebuch–Emmental High Trail, Stage 3: Turner–Trubschachen

From panoramic Turner, this downhill hike descends into the Emmental along shady woodland edges and across open pastures. Layers of hills unfold along the way, while Trubschachen awaits at the end with a pottery and café.

The starting point at Turner lies at just under 1,160 m and is not served by public transport; the approach begins at Escholzmatt railway station. Shortly after the start, the high trail reaches its highest point at around 1,160 m. From there, it leads almost continuously downhill, initially across open terrain with views of the gentle hills of the Emmental. At Nageldach, an alternating landscape of pastures and shady woodland edges begins.

The hiking trail continues downhill via Ober-Altgfäl and Hinter Risisegg. Stretches of woodland and clearings characterise this stage; at Vorder Risisegg and Schindelegg, views repeatedly open up across the layered hills. Via Alpetli and Untere Schwand, the route continues to lose elevation before the first houses of Trubschachen appear. The village is home to the Kambly Experience and Aebi pottery with its small café. After just under two hours, the hike ends at Trubschachen railway station, only a few steps from the stop.
