01/ Overview

The route

A steep mountain path leads from Sörenberg up to the raised bog on the cantonal ridge. It then continues over the Bleikenchopf, through rocky hollows and shady forest, down to Flühli.

From the Sörenberg, Schulhaus stop, the path initially climbs through the village and across open meadows. The mountain path soon becomes steeper and heads towards Hagleren. After just over four kilometres, the route reaches its highest point at around 1'800 m; the summit of Hagleren itself remains off the route.

A raised bog shapes the landscape on the ridge between Luzern and Obwalden. Open, wet terrain and a rugged mountain path accompany the route to Bleikenchopf. The long descent then begins. Gitziloch forms a rocky hollow, while farther down Chessiloch narrows into a small gorge. Moss-covered rocks and shady forest paths characterise this section.

At Bunihus, the slopes become gentler and the route returns to an easy hiking trail. Via Hüttlenen, the final kilometres lead to the first houses of Flühli and the nearby Flühli LU, Post stop.
